<h2>Description</h2>
<p><span class="emphasis"><em>vstaudio</em></span> and <span class="emphasis"><em>vstaudiog</em></span>
are used for sending and receiving audio from a VST plugin.</p>
<p><span class="emphasis"><em>vstaudio</em></span> is used within an instrument
definition that contains a <span class="emphasis"><em>vstmidiout</em></span> or
<span class="emphasis"><em>vstnote</em></span> opcode. It outputs audio for only that
one instrument. Any audio remaining in the plugin after the end of the
note, for example a reverb tail, will be cut off and should be dealt
with using a damping envelope.</p>
<p><span class="emphasis"><em>vstaudiog</em></span> (vstaudio global) is used in a
separate instrument to process audio from any number of VST notes or
MIDI events that share the same VST plugin instance (instance). The
<span class="emphasis"><em>vstaudiog</em></span> instrument must be numbered higher than
all the instruments receiving notes or MIDI data, and the note
controlling the vstplug instrument must have an indefinite duration,
or at least a duration as long as the VST plugin is active.</p>
</div>
<div class="refsect1" title="Initialization">
<a id="idp52954528"></a>
<h2>Initialization</h2>
<p><span class="emphasis"><em>instance</em></span> - the number which identifies the
plugin, to be passed to other vst4cs opcodes.</p>
</div>
<div class="refsect1" title="Performance">
<a id="idp52955456"></a>
<h2>Performance</h2>
<p><span class="emphasis"><em>aout1, aout2</em></span> - the audio output received from
the plugin.</p>
<p><span class="emphasis"><em>ain1, ain2</em></span> - the audio input sent to the
plugin.</p>
</div>
<div class="refsect1" title="Examples">
<a id="idp52956744"></a>
<h2>Examples</h2>

Here is an example of the use of the <span class="emphasis"><em>vstaudio</em></span> opcode. It uses the file <a class="ulink" href="examples/vst4cs.csd" target="_top"><em class="citetitle">vst4cs.csd</em></a>.
