///////////////////////////////
// To use:

// Install VSTPlugin
// available here: https://git.iem.at/pd/vstplugin/-/releases

// Create a NodeProxy as a sound source for testing
(
Ndef(\sine, {
	var sig = SinOsc.ar(440);
	var env = Decay2.kr(Impulse.kr(0.5));
	Splay.ar(sig) * env * 0.1;
})
)

// display discovered keys
Vst(\delay1).keys.do({arg k; k.postln;});
// load a vst by key or path
Vst(\delay1).load('/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST/ValhallaDelay');
// route the test sound source to the internal node proxy
Vst(\delay1).node.source = Ndef(\sine);
// monitor the vst with fade in
Vst(\delay1).node.play(fadeTime:4);
// view the editor if enabled (see PR-4499 for mac)
Vst(\delay1).editor;
// view the default gui
Vst(\delay1).gui;
// toggle bypass: 1 or 0
Vst(\delay1).bypass(1);
// stop monitoring the vst with fade out
Vst(\delay1).node.stop(fadeTime:4);

// since the vst is output through a node proxy
// it can be further routed as a regular node proxy
