Chances are you can't run it alone, though personally I don't know that 100% - just most things don't offer 'standalone' functionality.
YUP, it's not stand alone unlike absinth, but did not know that at the time of the post. Got so excited cuz of the look of the synth. Don't have the machine for to run such host applications that would support plugins like this, but will work on it. Thanks for the post.
