title: controlling VST instruments from Ruby
body: <p>I've recently bought a copy of EZDrummer, a VST plugin that acts as a virtual drumkit. I'd really like to hook into it from Ruby code so that I can create loops and drum patterns programmatically. To be honest I am not sure even where to start. Presumably I have to create a VST host which can load the plugin and then hook into it somehow. I am a Ruby developer so that's the language I'd be looking to implement this in. Any pointers in the right direction?</p>
