@ -128,16 +134,18 @@ For purposes such as GUI interaction and VST automation, your patch may need to
further with the VST host. Special Pd send/receive symbols can be used in your Pd patch.
For an example, see the pd-gain.pd file.
* rvstparameter<integer> : Use this symbol to receive parameter values from the VST host. Values will be floats between 0 and 1 inclusive.
* svstparameter<integer> : Use this symbol to send parameter values to the VST host. Values should be floats between 0 and 1 inclusive.
* rvstopengui : Use this symbol to receive notification that the patch's GUI should be opened or closed. The value will be either 1 or 0.
* rvstplugname : Use this symbol to receive plug & instance name from host
* vstTimeInfo (play head information support) :
* `rvstparameter<integer>` : Use this symbol to receive parameter values from the VST host. Values will be floats between 0 and 1 inclusive.
* `svstparameter<integer>` : Use this symbol to send parameter values to the VST host. Values should be floats between 0 and 1 inclusive.
* `rvstopengui` : Use this symbol to receive notification that the patch's GUI should be opened or closed. The value will be either 1 or 0.
* `rvstprognumber`: Use this symbol to receive program number changes from host.
* `rvstprogname`: Use this symbol to receive program name changes from host.
* `rvstplugname`: Use this symbol to receive plug & instance name from host
* `vstTimeInfo`: (play head information support) :
vstTimeInfo.ppqPos, vstTimeInfo.tempo, vstTimeInfo.timeSigNumerator, vstTimeInfo.timeSigDenominator, vstTimeInfo.flags are experimental receivers for getting time infos from host. Names should change in the future.

guiName : use this symbol to send and signal to the host the name of the gui-extra window to embed (see Pd_Gain(gui) example).

Note: for most VST hosts, parameters for VST instruments are recorded as sysex data, so be
sure to disable any MIDI message filtering in the VST host.
