The new cubase (SX) apparently has Midi plugins - writing a wrapper for that might be fun. Haven't seen an SDK yet (but haven't looked either)
To make it a VST instrument would be a little more complex - as I see it you can either write a wrapper that replaces the dac and adc with VST stuff (this would be a lot simpler than the dac/adc 'cos you don't need to worry about devices at all) but of course you would then have a branch of PD which you would need t sync with the official one.
Doing it via sockets and a vst connector instrument would be the neatest
- I think the CsoundVST and Csound~ stuff works a bit like this (I might
be wrong) so you could look at that

Does anyone know of a method of connecting Logic/Cubase.. with PD.. I was thinking of some sort of VST instrument that would transmit midi data via udp/tcp for pd to netreceive..?
I tried using virtual midi ports in my pc and doing it that way.. but midi latency is terrible on my pc (yeah i know I'm using windoze.. ) and netreceive is a bit more portable...
If there isn't one then maybe i should try writing one? does anyone know if it would be a viable method?
Thanks
