Hey Jason,
If you want WASAPI, i think you will have to go for reaper. I like the
reaper way of playing softsynths, actually. Notice the following though:
1. Midi Yoke is a 32-bit driver, you need the 32-bit version of Reaper
to access it, at least that's how far my experience goes.
2. Reaper 3 has major issues with receiving reset messages. When i hook
up QWS to Reaper 3 and send a gm reset, the vst process crashes rudely.
Reaper 4 fixes this, notice though that ReaAccess, the plugin used for
making Reaper accessible, has some bugs with this version and
development has ceased. I got softsynths working though.
3. If a soundcard supports Asio, i think i'd go the Asio way of working.
This means that you can also use vst host.
4. I think there's no major difference in latency time, it's all about
configuration.
Regards,
Leonard

I'm thinking about possibly using MIDIYoke or an equivalent package for
getting QWS to play live (and record for later listening) with
non-Microsoft sounds, whether it's sound fonts or soft synths.
I'm curious to know whether Reaper or VSTHost has a shorter latency time
in Windows 8 Home Premium X64 via an M-Audio KeyStudio 49.
Plan on using the core audio (WASAPI) method for best results.
Unless ASIO can deliver where core audio can't.
Small side note: I'd be interested in at least getting the Yamaha
SY-XG50 series going on this here lappy since that's what all of my
music's been recorded with as of late.
Preferably seeking out the 2-mb version of the soft synth.
The 4 MB is cool, but there's just something in the 2 mb version I can't
shake.
Is it safe to say I sometimes listen to music with my eyes?
That includes random teardrops on the M-Audio keyboard when a score
comes out near if not exactly perfect like I remember?
(For those wondering, "as of late" really refers to a Windows XP Service
Pack 3 desktop; It's still here, but I'm finding fairly quickly that
this is my go-to partner in crime, if you will)…
