+VST~
+
+reference: http://iem.kug.ac.at/~jams/
+this plugin uses a tiny amount of code from the plugin~
+object mentioned above. It also tries to replicate the 
+syntax
+
+setup
+
+Set environment var to locate your plugins: 
+
+set VST_PATH=C:\Program Files\Steinberg\Vstplugins\Plugins archive;C:\Program Files\Steinberg\Vstplugins\VSTPlugs;C:\audio\Cubase5\Vstplugins\VstPlugins;C:\Program Files\Steinberg\Vstplugins
+
+add the following line to your PD startup (editing the path to 
+suit) 
+
+-lib \VST\Debug\vst
+
+There are three example patches - using Waldorf D-pole, Pro-52
+(helpfully called neontest) and Crazy Diamond http://rumpelrausch.de.vu/
+
+notes:
+
+In order to support plugins with spaces in the name it takes all 
+the parameters it is given and assumes they are parts of the 
+name with spaces in between. Thus 
+
+	vst~ waldorf d-pole 
+
+loads the d-pole plugin because it looks for "waldorf d-pole". The 
+VST_PATH environment variable is use just like for "Plugin~". 
+The two right most inputs are for midi note and velocity and 
+work just like the "noteout" object. 
+
+There is not currently any support for: 
+
+	programs
+	other midi messages 
+	help file
+
+ I am in the process of adding all of these. The editor does 
+actually work but the window it is in breaks PD so it is disabled 
+at present. There are no plans for a graphical interface for 
+plugins with no supplied editor - what do you think PD is for ;-)
+
+I have discovered that not all VST plugins behave properly 
+- for example I found one called VST_Chopper that crashes 
+PD if you print its parameters. 
+
+New Stuff: 
+
+There are a number of "plugins" that come with Cubase (truetape, double delay etc).
+Despite being in a folder called VSTPLugins these are NOT VST plugins but 
+Cubase extentsions. Steinberg themselves told me this. 
+
+There is now support for the built in editor. Send an Edit message to the 
+plugin to see the graphical editor.
