Modalics has introduced a free software solution for hosting VST3 plugins, allowing you to chain MIDI effects, instruments, and process plugins with ease.

The cross-host compatible Plugin Buddy is a live-oriented host that lets you dive into your creative flow instantly, with minimum hassle.

With four quick control slots and a suite of free internal plugins—including MIDI tools, a synth, clipper, and a low-pass filter—Plugin Buddy is an agile, live-oriented plugin host with the primary goal of enhancing the workflow for those who work with MIDI sequencing plugins and instruments.

Available as standalone software and as a plugin in VST/VST3, AU and AAX formats, Plugin Buddy allows you to host VST3 plugins with zero latency. It comes with various MIDI tools, a synth, clipper, and low-pass filter, and real-time visual cues on audio and MIDI pitch/velocity.
