maybe this was already possible, but with the windows port of JACK
http://www.grame.fr/~letz/jackdmp.html
and a MIDI loopback driver you can connect SM with your host, aos you dont have to export your plug in to a vst to test it in a reallife composing/recording/mixing situation.
Cockos reaper with its reroute driver makes this possibke too, but you're bound to reaper then, and i found it to be more glitchy (not the very latest version plus i dont own a license and may not want to buy one (happy XT user).

JACK seems very robust already, although its in a very wearly stage.
it is console only app, so nothing for noobs i guess (i may be wrong, linux noobs see things different i guess).
I'll have a try compile the GUI on windows to make using JACK easyer.
I let you know if i succed (or others do)
do you know of other ways of connecting SM to other software?
let me know please!
cheers

just played a bit around, and if i connect energyXT to SM to test self built FX, there are many glitches when moving graphics. this happens only witch SM right now. two linked EnergxXTs work glitch free. maybe this is a JACK related problem (tried some settings to solve the problem, but no luck), but maybe SMs Graphics got too much priority and block something. I'll do some more tests and let you know.

ok, i stressed JACK a bit. opened up two instances of energy XT and one of reaper. Loaded ASynth (and played it poly, ca 4-5 voices 8x Oversampling) and Ambience after it in the first instance, sent it to the second one, put a TubeDriver and a Overtone EQ on it, sent it to reaper, where i put Luxonix freeFX and FreeAmp 2 the eincoming signal, even on heavy multi tasking and heavy gui activity, no glitches at all (playing 4-5 voices at Asynth]. may still be a JACK related problem, but at the moment it seems that SM blocks something (i tried it with nothing but asio driver modules loaded btw), so Audio gets glitchy as soon as i route it through SM.

i was pretty excited when then added reroute, y'know, an audio midi yoke and all but it's always been glitchy for me... will try Jack as soon as I get chance, the thought of turning my laptop into one big modular daw... 😍
