Well, wusikVM apparently doesn't work in V5 of usine, and maybe that's an easy fix, or maybe there's no fix, but this feature would be incredibly useful one way or another!
For those who don't know, wusikVM appears as a VST to the host, but is also a host itself. It can respond to program changes, and allows putting programs from many VSTs into a single bank. When a preset is selected, the appropriate VST is loaded with the appropriate parameter settings. Obviously this could be an issue for slow loading VSTs, but for many VSTs it would be very usable.
It also allows mapping any of the parameters in the subVST to a number (16, I think?) of fixed parameters exposed to the host, so for instance you can make sure filter cutoff is always controlled from the same input, even if each VST uses a different input for it.
At least, that's how it's claimed to work! Since it doesn't work correctly in either Usine or Reaper, and there is almost no documentation, I can't say for sure..... but this functionality would be huge for me, as there are a lot of VSTs out there that only have a few good sounds, and it's not practical to have them permanently wired in my wkp just for that.....
thanks!
