Gen + Juce

i came across the https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f94Go5Qafg8
and i got super excited!!!
i am new to Juce and i am struggling to find out where to put the code and what commands to use to communicate with the code......
this gen thing seems like to make the whole work......
Has anyone tried the gen~ in max and exported files to be used in Juce and continue the process of building the plugin in Juce and Visual Studio?
any help would be extremely appreciated!!

Hey Chris, some other might be better at explaining that, but the basic idea is that :
*gen~ is a module in max
*it's used for (and only for) creating low-level & fast audio (and picture) processing algorithms, but not for GUI
*it allows to export code (mainly c++) which can later be integrated in a vst plugin or any compiled application

How does the UI talk to gen? Do I have to do the UI part in C++?

...but there are graphical IDE tools which can help make it simpler than writing C++ alone, here's an example:
