Building VST instruments

From the Pluggo Documentation/Tutorial P8:

In order for this plug-in to receive MIDI input in many host
applications, it needs to advertise itself as a synthesizer. To do
this, you use the synth keyword in your plugconfig script. Open the
script by double-clicking on the plugconfig object to see this.

#C synth;

b.

have you tried to put this line in your plugconfig

#C synth;

?

Cheers,

Dammit! - I search and search and search and search, but no matter how, I
just can't find this "Pluggo Documentation/Tutorial P8" anywhere. Please help!

Thanks for the help on the VST-synth.

I searched the web for the lines quoted from the pluggo tutorial and found
the doucument here:

That development guide refers to the PlugMaker app. which I've read is no longer used.

Also, do we need to own Pluggo to make plug-ins? I thought all we need is Max/MSP?

Furthermore, I can't seem to find ANY (up-to-date) information whatsoever in the Max/MSP documentation or in the intardwebs explaining what the Build Collective/Application/Plug-In function is or how to use it

Thanks...

You don't need Pluggo to make the plug-ins, but you'll need Pluggo runtime
to run them.

The Max45TutorialsAndTopics-document has a section about collectives:
"Collectives: Grouping Files into a Single Project" (p 387)
It explains the basics of the "Build Collective/Application/Plug-in"
function

page 387 said this:

You can also make an audio plug-in (VST, RTAS, and AU) with Max/MSP. For details and examples of building plug-ins with Max/MSP see the Pluggo Developer Materials that are installed with Pluggo, which can be downloaded from www.cycling74.com.

so, it seems i'm going in circles. i can't find the abovementioned documents and i'm not trying to build a collective or standalone.

hmm...

got it! very easy... what about creating an interface, though, with egg sliders, etc.?

anyone? it seems like this feature of max/msp is sorely underdocumented...

As far as I know you can only make VST plugins with Pluggo. Pluggo is
an add on to Max that you buy separately.
