Open on Load

modified's icon

Hey.

I'm using the vst~ object to run my VirusTI 2.
I've managed to get it all working together with no problem; however I would really like to load the virus into vst~ automatically when I load the patch.

Obviously loadbang is going to be used but it keeps crashing when I try.

In Pure Data I would do something like:

[bang]
|
[open ..\ViruTI.dll(
|
[plug $1(
|
[vst~]

But when I try this in max I get the error "can't find plug-in open".
So I take the "open" out of the first message box.

[bang]
|
[ViruTI.dll(
|
[plug $1(
|
[vst~]

When I bank this max just crashes.

I can load the virus in fine if I just have

[plug $1(
|
[vst~]

and do it in the open window, but I really want to eliminate this stage.

Any idea please? I'm new to Max but been using PD for a while now.
