you are not really talking about direct-x, do you? VST and direct-x are different shells for the waveshell plugins (which in turn seem to have some independent format)
oh. didn't know that.
what i did was: i tried to load the waveshell-vst.dll into vst~. i figured, the result would be a popup-list to chose the plugs from. instead it crashes PD .
