I was just wondering of any place that can teach me how to use the SDK? I don't want to be taught the code and all that.. I know Java, Python, and some C++, and C#. Just something that can get me messin' around with the SDK. Like tutorials? I heard there are tutorials on the steinberg site but I can not find them.

Look for the VST SDK 2.0 specification

If you don't want to learn how to code better, or improve your C++, then there's no point. Go with a higher-level framework like Max, SynthEdit, or Pure Data.

ElectricGordon, I think other posters are misunderstanding your question. I take it you just want to get started with the VST SDK quickly.
I don't think I ever found any tutorials that helped any more than what was in the VST 2.4 SDK. The only suggestion I have is to download the the 2.4 version of the SDK and start with their example gain and delay projects. You will see that there isn't much to know about learning the SDK alone (with no fancy GUI etc). You would basically just add parameters and change the contents of processReplacing functions.

Ok, yeah I've searched and searched. No luck. But thats a good idea. I have worked with Synthedit, Reaktor, synthmaker and all that. I just want to learn my way around it. I'll be diving into it sometime soon. I'll let you guys know how it went lol

Thanks for the reply guys!

I know how to code. But when you use different SDKs and programs the "same" language is "different" and just want to learn the basics for now.
