## Detailed Description

    Default implementation for a non-distributable Plug-in that combines

processor and edit controller in one component.

- [released: 3.0.2]

This can be used as base class for a VST 3 effect implementation in case that the standard way of defining two separate components would cause too many implementation difficulties:

- Cubase 4.2 is the first host that supports combined VST 3 Plug-ins
- Use this class only after giving the standard way of defining two components serious considerations!
