as I wrote (see below), the architecture is open to other hosts than
Steinberg's, which makes it of interest to virtually anybody. Emagic's Logic,
and many other existing or future sequencers or audio softwares host VST plugins.

In fact I believe it makes sense nowadays to release any soft synth or effect
in the form of two components :
- a (small) audio engine app for standalone use (can be the same for any synth
or effect)
- a (big) vst 2 plugin which may be used either by "its" engine app or, in a
much more efficient way than if it was a "full" app with its own audio
callbacks, by a sequencer.
