i wonder if it's possible to reset the vst~ object so i don't have any plugin loaded. I use the script available in maxhelp. For now i set each time "no plug-in" message if i want to throw out the plugin from the object - but this is a dirty method - i always then get "no plugin called "no plug-in" found". I also don't want anything like "bypass" or "disable" because it doesn't kick out the plugin. Any suggestions? thanks!

Over three years later I have the same question :/

Thanks for your reply. unfortunately, when I send "plug [some plug that is not existing, like 'xxx']" to vst~, the console gives me a "can't find plug-in xxx" but the previously loaded vst instrument still remains loaded :/

There is no message that will unload plugin from vst~ object.

If for whatever reason You need to do so,

then create a bpatcher with vst~ object inside, 

and load / unload the whole patcher, with all the consequences.

Or create vst~ object and it's conections using scripting.

Or load some dummy vst plugin which does nothing.

seems that has been forgotten during the rewrite^^

btw, if you attempt to load a .dll file, which isnt a vst plug-in, max7 windows chrashes.
