Dave You may do better to put the VST_PATH in your autoexec.bat file that way you will just have to load the plugin~ or vst~ object i would love to share some patches using VST with you if you care to. I have some neat ones with Richard Dobson's Pv plugs and the newer ether and shapee plugins Also i have made one with northpole which is rather nice too cheers

Hi
I cannot get the VST~ object to work on my machine. Whenever I put a VST~ object in a new canvas it crashes.
I have set the path to search my VST plugin folder by adding the 'set VST_PATH....' in a batch file I use to run PD, is this the correct place to put it?
I have also tried variations on the path command by using '' instead of '/' but with the same result.
Here is my .bat file...
pd -lib ../vst/Release/vst -noadc -midiindev 1 -midioutdev 1 set VST_PATH=D:\Program Files\Steinberg\Vstplugins
and here is the command line readout after I run it...
VST host by mark williamson
contains source code from Psycle tracker
Contact: mark@junklight.com . website: http://www.junklight.com
VSTLib: version: 0.1
VSTLib compiled: May 7 2002
open: No such file or directory
No such file or directory
open: No such file or directory
No such file or directory
The 'no such file or directory' error only occurs when I include the set VST_PATH command, but the path is definitely correct.
Any help please?
Thanks in advance
Dave
