History

[edit]

VSTi stands for Virtual Studio Technology Instruments developed by Steinberg in Germany in 1997. Giga Studio launched by Nemesis in the United States along with the development of Steinberg is a stand-alone that is not run by a separate sequencing software but runs independently. Giga Studio had so many bugs and compatibility problems. Since then, Tascam has acquired Giga Studio, but it has become less popular and is no longer available. Meanwhile, a virtual instrument by Steinberg of Germany began to be developed, a platform for the virtual instruments of the DirectX engine series was developed by Cakewalk in the United States which is famous for its current Sonar, but it did not work. Currently, almost all virtual instruments have been unified into the platform of Steinberg's VSTi.
