Third party plugin block declaration?

I’m want to use Blue Cat Audio’s Connector VST to send program changes to synths running in Reaper. How do I declare the Blue Cat Audio “blocks” for use in the scripting?

Thanks!

Right click the plugin block and near the bottom of the popup menu is ‘Set Handle’ - select that, give it a name and then tick the ‘GPScript’ box and click ok.

Then in GPScript declare it as a ‘pluginBlock’ variable

Thanks! There does not appear to be any mention of PlugInBlock in the GPScript documentation.

Maybe not - the documentation is not as complete as it should be and we’ll update it to specify the types better.

However, in the short term, the code templates also have examples
