I've got a question regarding the vst object.

How can I automatically reload the VST Plug and the state of the Plugin when reloading the Max Patch.

reload-vst-object-state

Save a preset with the "write" message to vst~ - this will create a .fxp file, for instance "delay.fxp"

If the file is in your Max search path, you can load it by creating an instance of your plug with the preset name as an argument.

Hey Andrew, thanks for your reply but I still don't get it.

Could you write it step by step with Kontakt5 as an example.

Try using the [GenericVST] object that's part of a library I built some time ago for making this stuff a little more seamless.

 and there's a link to the bottom to the downloads.

Could you just explain me how to send note off messages into the Plugin.

Currently i'm using a pack object to send note and velocity to the Note inlet.

Also is it possible to get more than two audio outs?

It's no problem with the vst object but i don't know how to enable additional outs with the genericvst.

Same way you would do it for any MIDI device --- send the note out with a velocity of 0. That's part of the reason for wrapping the underlying [vst~] in the first place, to make it look more like a standard external MIDI device.

When I created the GenericVST, I only cared about stereo output. The underlying [vst~] takes an argument that defines the number of audio output channels. So you could clearly modify the GenericVST object to include for audio outlets and just add the number of outputs you want to the [vst~] itself.
