Digital Performer supports 2 VST Virtual Instruments -- VB-1 and Neon -- through the VST Wrapper plug-in by Audio Ease and through the Pluggo shell. To take advantage of these cool synth modules that work entirely within DP, first install the VST wrapper or Pluggo and the Instrument plug-in in the VST Plug-ins folder. Then within DP create an auxiluary track in DP and assign the Instrument plug-in to this track in the first insert. A midi instrumnet will now appear in the output choices for midi tracks in DP. Assign a track to this instrument and you're all set to begin playing. You can save your different synth settings and load them between project just like any other effect. To record the Virtual Instrument set the output of the aux track to a stereo bus and the input of a voice track to this same bus, because midi does not play back during a bounce to disk you cannot bounce the output of the instrument until you have recorded the data in as audio -- just like any other midi instrument. Pluggo currently supports other instruments like the Pro-Five and Model-E, the VST Wrapper version 2 will support more instruments as well.

In DP 2.7 do not open a midi track assigned to a Virtual Instrument in the drum editor as this will cause a loop preventing you from opening the file in the future.
