Josh, did you ever use export .dll file of Cabbage, then import it in 
sequencer?
It's very good, also in automatation management. I used it (like instrument, 
I never used it like effect) with Cubase8, in Windows10.
I used well also vst4cs, but unfortunatly in these days I have to use 
another pc, with windowsXP, in another town, and I don't have my memo 
annotations about it.

Hi Andrea, that looks very promising thank you for that pointer! I definitely need to try Cabbage. Right now I'm interested in moving away from DAWs and moving towards coding (I am a programmer) but I think a hybrid approach sounds very promising, especially since it looks like one can embed Python within a Cabbage instrument. What a box of possibilities.
