Hi All,

Was this question ever answered? Is it possible to use DXi with the latest Composer or Musician (version 2.4.x)?

Thanks,
Joshua

Hi, Joshua:

Notation Software products do not currently support any type of audio plug-ins.

It is possible to create a work-around, using a virtual midi port (such as Maple Midi or Hubi's Loopback) and a stand-alone host for the plug-in(s).

I use Herman Seib's excellent freeware VSTHost and SaviHost programs for VST's and VSTi's.

The only stand-alone DXi host that I can find is Console by ArtTeknica. You can find a demo here:

It is not, unfortunately, freeware, but I can't seem to find a freeware DXi host.

I'm not sure whether it is because DXi are harder to program than VSTi or what, but it seems that the DX plug-in industry is much more focussed on commercial/retail release than freeware.

However, most DX plug-ins have sibling VST versions or, certainly, equivalent ones. You might consider coming over to the dark side.

Good luck.

David
