I've used Noteworthy Composer for years now and its so ridiculously intuitive compared to much more expensive software, however, VST support seems to be a difficult feat for most. I use several hundred gigabytes worth of samplers (Kontakt 2, with third party libraries mainly) and I find that I have to route Noteworthy through so much hoopla just to create a workspace. I find I am spending less time actually composing and more time organizing the midi yoke ins/outs and VST Host/VSTi/Effects settings. I should note that when one is not using external effects (post synth), it is actually quite manageable. However, if you plan to create anything using distorted guitars or others that require effects for a decent or realistic sound, you are pretty much out of luck with Noteworthy Composer. For this reason, I think Noteworthy has to come out as a VST host with the ability to route effects. All the other midi score editors on expensive VST Hosts are really bad, you have to CLICK notes in! With the Mouse!!?!?! What the hell is that!?!? Ugh... I'm getting of the path I was following.
Anyways, if anyone knows of a way to easily route effects to VST instrument standalone applications with noteworthy or knows of a VST host with a midi editor that you can type the notes in like in NWC, please let me know. I'm at my wits end. I've spent TONS of money and can't find a solution! I've been writing for 10 years now with NWC, there has to be a better way
