A stand alone VST is just that. It operates without a DAW as the host.

So all you need to do is install it according to the instructions and set up the inputs for it using your sound card/interface and assign the outputs and you should be good to go.

rharv... the reason you might want to run a VST stand alone is in a live situation. Band on stage or keyboard in a studio where you don't want or need it to operate inside of a DAW. You are simply looking for the particular sound sample the VST can provide and nothing else.

Add nothing that adds nothing to the music.
You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.

The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
