how to get vst plugins working with max msp?

Kaspar

Hi,

I go to this website: http://www.vstplanet.com/Instruments/VST_Synthesizers2.htm
and download some vst plugins. This turns out t be some .dll files. When I try to open them in the vst~ object in max (using the help file), I cannot open the .dll file that i saved to my desktop.

My question is: How do I download vst plugins and make them work with max msp? Do I need to store them some place? How does it work? I don't seem to find a tutorial about vst~ in max that helps me organize my files, so that I can load the plugin into max ... any tutorials??

Thanks ahead for your help!

a specific path is not required to load a plug-in in max/msp - unlike for most other programs.

however, there is a folder called VSTPlugIns for max, too, which _may be used a default.

and if you want your patch to find back the plug-in next time you open it (vst~ myfavoritesynth 8), the plug-in should be in the max search path (see "file preferences")
