Scaler as VST host

Scaler 2 Feature Requests
29

just catching up on the discussion and I agree with a lot of points from both sides:

  • Hosting VST within Scaler is a great feature
  • Scaler as a plugin should not become a DAW of its own and replicate existing features
  • VST hosting is definitely a big unknown in terms of dev/support time, not so much the implementation but the risk that 3rd party plugin not working for whatever reason will make Scaler look bad and we will have to provide support.

I think it makes total sense in a standalone app, maybe in a plugin at some stage but not a priority for now.

Every time we talk about this feature I can’t help but think of the crash reports with Scaler hosting Scaler hosting Scaler or even better… a random VST within Scaler within Maschine within Scaler within Logic Pro. :exploding_head:

…and now, I will always remember that some really wise users advised against it in the first place. :sob: :sweat_smile:

Thanks for the great feedback once again,
