title: Build a minimal VST3 host in C++
body: <p>I'm struggling to find a basic example on how to set up a minimal plugin host with VST 3.x SDK. The official documentation is absolutely criptic and brief, I can't get anywhere. I would like to:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>understand the minimal setup: required headers, interfaces to implement, ...;</li>
  <li>load a VST3 plugin (no fancy GUI, for now);</li>
  <li>print out some data (e.g. plugin name, parameters, ...).</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>That would be a great start :)</p>
