VisualStudio 2010 for Windows
Max 6.1 or later
Preliminaries
Download the VST SDK from Steinberg

Open a gen~ patch to be turned into a plugin
Send gen~ the
exportcodemessage in order to export the genpatcher as C++ codeChoose the top-level folder where you new plugin project is located as created in step 1.
Open the Xcode or VisualStudio project from step 2
In .cpp, change the plugin descriptors
UNIQUE_ID
VST_NAME

Thanks for the tutorial . However I doesnt seem to work with Visual Studio 2017, I retargeted the solution but still .
Do you published any more information about this?
Juce is working propperly when using it , but when trying to open it from the example gen-code-export / indtrojucer , it just shows visual studio 2013 , while using introjucer from the latest juce it recognizes vs 2017.
AFAIK Steinberg now removed the VST SDK v2.x and only allows v3 VSTs to be developed. How will Gen cope with that?
Following NOOU.
Does this still work with VST 3?
Has this yet been updated for VST3 ?
For those looking for VST3 building information, there is a github project here which explicitly mentions and supports VST3.
