Hmmm.

So it's not possible to wrap AMS (with it's self contained modules and 
functionality intact) in VSTi? I'd be surprised, but I never coded a 
VSTi, so how am I?

I just find it really hard to believe, since AMS on my box is a 
self-contained piece of software that connects with the outside world 
through a gui (like VSTi), midi I/O (like VSTi) and audio (like VSTi). 
But unfortunately that doesn't seem to be possible...

It seems we are talking about two things: I'm talking about the "whole 
of AMS, canvas + buildin modules, but nothing else", it seems to me 
you're talking about "individual modules as VSTi and then try to connect 
them in my host". Or?
