    Hi!
    I was looking through the forum and couldn`t find the info.
    How can I make MIDI-plugin in pluggo run-time? I use "plugmidiin" and "plugmidiout" in my patcher, but MAX builds just ordinary VST-effect, not VST-Instrument.
    I want to make MIDI-plugin (in VST) to change the data coming from MIDI-keyboard.
    What else can I use in my MAX-patch to make VST-Instrument, not VST-effect?
    Beforehand thank you!

      Are you talking about Max 5 or 4.6? With Max 5, you cannot create VST plugins (see Max for Live). With Max 4.x, read the pdf "PluggoDevGuide", you can create MIDI effects, audio effects, and instruments (MIDI in, audio out). J-F.

      Thank you for the answer,
      I mean MAx 4.6, I read the PluggoDevGuide, but there is only info that you should use modules "plugmidiin/out". But after compiling I get VST-effect, not VST-instrument. What should I do more?
      Thank you in advance, Sergey

      2. a pluggo becomes an instrument when you make it an instrument in the [plugconfig] script.
      3. [midiin] won´t work with effects so you are on the right path making an instrument. but - if you host allows this - [plugmidiout] will work from effects (just fyi).

      Thank you for the answer,
      I found that I should only do #C Synth in Plugconfig
      Now all is working as expected, thank you everybody for the help
