Hello

I am studying the VST SDK to get to know it. In a VST I saw it is possible to select a midi port within a VST.
Browsing through the extensive VST SDK documentation I can't find any hint that points me into the direction.
Is there anyone who can tell me what to look for?

Thank you in advance.

i assume you mean VST plugin
you didn't find it, because a VST plugin should (normally) only talk to the VST Host, and if it wants MIDI - the Host would provide that with the mechanisms there are, whether that midi data actually comes from an actual MIDI interface is another question which generaly the Host deals with
you should not deal with the midi device directly from your plugin, unless you really know what you're doing
It doesn't matter how it sounds..
..as long as it has BASS and it's LOUD!
