Hello,
thanks a lot for this great tool but I have nevertheless
3 4 requests:
1) I second Mr "abject39" (a few posts above) who asked for a virtual piano keyboard in order to be able to play some note using the mouse in case no external midi keyboard is connected .
it would be very usefull for plugins which do not have their own embeded keyboard available.
2) Could it be also possible to allow the possibility to
resize the VST plugin GUIs/window please ? (if supported by the plugin itself) as sometime plugin's GUIs are rather tiny and I could not found how to resize the Nanohost window .
i.e by grabbing its corner as it is the case with Image-Line minihost but which does not support all of my plugins so that's why I replaced it by your NanoHost as my default VST host from now.
3) a quiteannoying feature: could it be possible to remove the fact that the Nanohost window is "always on top" and covers all other windows without teh possibility to change the Z order of any windows below it to make it visible ? (on my Windows 10 64bits at least) as sometime when a dialog box is open by theplugin (i.e. a registration one asking to enter a serial number) it goes BEHIND the nanohost windows and it then very difficult then to grab it and move it on the Nanohost window side as nanohost is covering/hiding the dialogbox...
4) I have associated .dll files to be open with your
NanoHost64bit.exe executable.
This way , by simply double clicking a VST dll it is open automatically by your NanoHost executable. This is really great but... ( I have no idea if it could be possible technically speaking ) I am
dreaming of a tool/executable that I could associate with a .dll file extension which could
detect if the VST .dll is a x64 or x86 version
and then open the VST dll with the appropriate
NanoHost64bit.exe or the
NanoHost32bit.exe executable in order to avoid me to do it manually...
This would be the "panacea" and a killer feature compared to all other existing VST hosts even paid ones.
edit: the detection of x86 or x64 type coudl be simply based on the VST Plugin folder path...
Appart of that it is a very promising tool and I love it already.
Thanks a lot also for making it available for FREE,
Best regards, Eric
