Max patch to keyboard midi output

hi guys,

fooling around here, got an idea earlier today, when my cables fell out of the controllers….

Im preety much a max msp noob still, but was wondering how coul I start making a patch that would enable me to play a vst instrument via keyboard….i.e. that the patch would read the key presses, and send corresponding midi data elsewhere

if that makes sense :) ??
