StandaloneHost host utility for Mac developed by Larry Taylor, has been updated to version 2.6.1. The update brings with it the addition of MIDI output and several other improvements.
StandaloneHost is a utility specifically designed for hosting a single V2 Audio Unit soft synth. Its primary function is to facilitate the playing of soft synths that do not come with a standalone program, eliminating the need to start up a DAW or other hosting app. In essence, StandaloneHost serves as the Mac counterpart to the well-known SAVIHost program for Windows, but with added features.
The utility can be easily downloaded and installed from a pkg file available on the official website. After installation, users can refer to the help section on the website for comprehensive usage instructions.
StandaloneHost has undergone rigorous testing with numerous soft synths. A table listing any known issues with specific soft synths is provided on the website for user reference.
The system requirements for StandaloneHost are straightforward. It requires macOS High Sierra (10.13) or a newer version.
The recent release of StandaloneHost version 2.6.1 introduces MIDI output as a new feature. A review of the version history reveals that previous updates have enhanced audio device detection and synth detection, fixed transpose issues, and made other improvements.
For users who have multiple copies of StandaloneHost, a tool called StandaloneHostUpdater is available. This tool is designed to expedite the update process.
