I have seen a review of Max/MSP which says its patch can be transformed 

directly to VST plug-ins without having to use C++. But I have never seen 

any tutorial about saving Max/MSP patch as VST plug-ins.

With your patch open, go to the File menu, then choose "Build 

Collective, Application, Plugin...". You may or may not have to add 

files/folders to the window that comes up, feel free to try without 

at first. Click "Build". The file that you are prompted to save is 

a VST plugin, but which requires at least the Pluggo Runtime 

(available for free from Cycling) to run.

Do you know how to manage sound inputs/outputs in a patch dedicated to 

Do you know how to manage sound inputs/outputs in a patch dedicated to 
become a vst plugin?

I won't answer your question, but rather point out a somewhat 

confusing thing WRT where the documentation is with details about how 

to make Pluggos - the best tutorial is in the *Pluggo* package, not 

the Max/MSP package. So if you don't own Pluggo, just download the 

demo, install it, and you will see in the resulting main Pluggo 

folder a file called "PluggoDevGuide35.pdf" - that's what you want.

it works fine with a simple patch. But when I put my big patch with mxj 

May we use mxj in patch to make VST plugs?

You can use mxj in a Pluggo VST plugin. I just 

asked the same question last week - please take a 

look in the Pluggo forum archives for where to 

place your .class files for the Pluggo to work 

(can't remember the exact path right now).
