The Spectrasonics instruments are working well with VSTi Host and a couple of 
others that we are testing. It is a cool way to work to dedicate an older 
laptop or an iBook with an MT-4 and an 828 to use it for a module or two. It 
does free up your main system quite well. VSTi Host's latency seems to have 
the best performance on Mac so far.

We'll have a recommendation in the product for which stand-alone VST hosts 
work the best for Mac and PC. No need to make a stand-alone version if they 
will work reliably with one of these inexpensive or shareware hosts. We may 
even include them in the product as a demo version for those that wish to 
work this way.
