SAVIHost Changelog

What's new in SAVIHost 1.43

Apr 4, 2021
  • Changes:
  • MIDI Controller dialog didn't display controller names correctly in the VS2008 builds
  • Increased MIDI Input Device number to 4 (somebody came up with a perfectly rational explanation why this would be a good idea :-)
  • VST3 enhancements
  • Donation dialog is only shown once per version, not once per version and PlugIn as in previous versions
  • If a loaded USB MIDI device is detached and reattached, SAVIHost automatically reconnects to it (experimental, but works fine for me)
  • Requires drivers that support DRV_QUERYDEVICEINTERFACE (not all do)
  • MIDI->Parameter and Parameter->MIDI added
  • Wave device names ending in blank characters caused problems; should be corrected
  • JUCE 5-generated VST3 PlugIns couldn't start
  • Donate dialog is a web browser window now
  • Int32MSB16/18/20/24 and Int32LSB16/18/20/24 ASIO sample types work better now
  • ASIO driver unloading didn't release buffers before closing; corrected (funny that it took about 15 years until I came across a driver that reacts badly to that)
  • Cursor Up/Down/Left/Right didn't work on the keyboard bar; corrected
  • /noavrt command line option added (automatically set if running in a WINE environment, as this would kill SAVIHost otherwise)
  • VST3 PlugIn Editor context menu corrected
  • Status bar didn't resize correctly for very narrow PlugIns

New in SAVIHost 1.42 (Jun 26, 2013)

  • Fixed incompatibility with ReaJS and other PlugIns that don't pass back a chunk before one's been loaded
  • VST3 MIDI Controller -> Parameter ID remapping didn't work correctly
  • added soft clipping
  • added VST Module Architecture distributions (presumably purely an intellectual exercise, no necessity)
  • added PlugIn Editor window support for VST Module Architecture PlugIns. NB: this is limited to the few VSTMA PlugIns I could find on the 'net.

New in SAVIHost 1.41 (Jun 26, 2013)

  • MIDI Transformations from VSTHost have been added.
  • VST3-capable programs use VST SDK 3.5 instead of 3.1.

New in SAVIHost 1.40 (Jun 26, 2013)

  • Incoming MIDI SysEx messages killed the x64 versions.
  • A bad "optimization" killed MME Wave Input device usage.

New in SAVIHost 1.39 (Jun 26, 2013)

  • SSE2 bug cured that caused ghastly noise when the output to a 24-bit sound card needed clipping.
  • "Linear Knob mode" implemented.
  • SAVIHost now contains a VST3.1 host in 32-bit and 64-bit versions.

New in SAVIHost 1.38 (Jun 26, 2013)

  • SAVIHost now comes in 32-bit and 64-bit versions.

New in SAVIHost 1.37 (Jun 26, 2013)

  • Use of SSE(2) when possible and appropriate; doesn't make much difference in SAVIHost.

New in SAVIHost 1.36 (Jun 26, 2013)

  • Wave Player level and Recording level can be adjusted.
  • 1st configured MIDI Input was not opened correctly upon program start - corrected.
  • .fxb bank files are saved in version 2 format now; if this is not wanted, it can be changed by adding a DWORD setting in the registry: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Seib\\Settings\BankSaveVersion=1.

New in SAVIHost 1.34 (Nov 26, 2009)

  • Wave player supports auto-stereo mode for mono files.
  • Lots of bug fixes and internal changes.
  • Can be minimized to system tray.
