</head><body><p>Hello,<br> <br> I would like to use pd to host a VST instrument. Then I expect that the midi keyboard can trigger notes. After that I will also need to send DMX command for lights from the same midi notes. I hope that puredata is the correct tool.<br> <br> I found the thomas's vst~ description : <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://puredata.info/Members/thomas/vst">http://puredata.info/Members/thomas/vst</a> I try first to use the vst~ object from binary (windows) to avoid installing any SDK. To work around an error message concerning loading loadbang, I installed the vanilla 0.43 instead of the newest 0.47. (I believe I need to compile vst / flext / pd to use the latest).<br> <br> I would like to check the aim of the patch vst~-help.pd I can load my vst instrument with the patch. The display edit window checkbox shows the vst instrument GUI.<br> My question concerns the noise~ in input, can I replace it by a midi notein object ?<br> The element named "pd midi" in the patch seems to generate midi and not to receive, is that right ?<br> <br> With best regards,<br></p><p>-- <br> <strong>Vincent VANBESIEN</strong></p></body></html>
