While Image-Line is famous for its flagship DAW, they have a history of developing "mini" tools that pack a massive punch. Minihost Modular was conceived as a standalone application and plugin host.

Happy patching!
: Includes 32-bit and 64-bit versions, but note that 32-bit Minihost cannot host 64-bit plugins and vice versa. Minihost Modular Beta 3 Download
