External FX Plugin in RNBO

Hi,

I'm trying to do something that seems very basic but maybe more complicated than I originally thought.

I want to create something similar to Ableton's external FX plugin as an AU/VST that will essentially just route a stereo input to a different stereo output pair on my audio interface, which I will then patch to hardware fx, and then route the output of the fx back in again, and out of the plugin.

Is this as simple as I think or will there be complications?

Many thanks for any help.

The plugin doesn't have access to your audio interface unless your host provides a bus for it, so I don't expect you'll be able to create the plugin you're hoping for.

Ah shame. Thanks for the reply.
