This may be old news, but I happened across this during my travels ...

This may be out of the scope of FS ... but you never know till I ask the 'Brains' on this forum 8-)

So ... if this even possible with FS and RUBY ??

just curious ;)

Thanks for the heads up,
this is beyond my capability.
Here is a screen using the vst~ object in MAX/msp->

The only reason I haven't done this is coz I cannot
rename the titlebar on the plug window--
it's broken and needs to be fixed by Cycling '74.
I have built all the VSTi/fx components in FS,
and will chain them with MAX, and compile an .exe.
Stupid bug, it makes it hard to differentiate instances,
to the point of unusable.

So u can make a VST host with this,
that doesn't spawn instances.
U can put ur own icon on it.
I think MAX/msp is like $250
