Are there Play & Stop Button for VST2 Plugins in Max8?
Hi all,
I am VST Plugin developer and new to Max8. Now I am trying to utilize Max 8 as VST2 host. But I cannot find "Play / Stop" button for VST2 plugins in Max 8.
* technically, it is represented by kVstTransportPlaying flag in VST2 plugin format.
Can you give me any advice? Thanks in advance.

VST plugins in Max are synced to global [transport].
So what BROC is suggesting is that you'd roll your own here - probably using the transport object.
Thanks for your suggestions, BROC and Taylor. But unfortunately, transport object seems not what I want.
I turned on / off Activate switch in transport object but kVstTransportPlaying flag does not changed.

What do You mean by :
I prepare "CheckHostPlayStop" kVstTransportPlaying flag ?
If the plugin is capable of following host sync,
than it will respond to transport.

I mean on&off of activate switch in transport object does not affect plugin received kVstTransportPlaying flag. "CheckHostPlayStop" is test vst2 plugin that only monitor kVstTransportPlaying flag from host.
I don't know how cycling implemented vst host sync,
and if kVstTransportPlaying
and kVstTransportChanged
flags are used at all.
