jost crashes on you?

i'm afraid it won't be the coolest of moves to have another standalone
native vst host atm., just because the nicest plugins you can find out
there are all "juced", that is, they come all from the same forge ;)

if jost author can't help fix that, you probably better think again in
your quest ...

you can always try one other way: support the migration of your favorite
vst plugins to lv2?

cheers
