discoDSP have made available a demo version of the forthcoming HighLife v1.0 which will be released on 1st May, 2004. Preorders are being taken at a reduced price of 80 Euro (it will be 100 EUR upon release).
HighLife is a VSTi freezer and Sampler. It loads into your VST Host as a VSTi but it also allows you to load another VSTi into it and then "Freeze" the current preset and save this as its own preset. You can then unload the hosted VSTi to free up resources.
