LPX and Vienna Ensemble Pro 5 - Effects Plugins?

I have no trouble with having VEP 5 hosting virtual instruments. Everything works as it should and I'm loving it. However, I have yet to be able to get my head around how to have VEP host effects audio plugins. Is there a step by step for this somewhere. When I get to the "Assign" screen I am not able to see my VEP host.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Finally actually figured it out. It was all there somewhere but for anyone else who might want the details here they are:

1) Start Vienna Ensemble Pro 5 SERVER
2) Start Logic X
3) Create a software instrument
4) Choose “AU Instruments – VSL – Vienna Ensemble Pro - Stereo”
5) Press “Connect”
6) Choose the “Available Instance” and press “Connect” (This step is necessary to connect Logic with VEP5)
7) On an audio track insert an “Audio FX” and choose “Audio Units – VSL – Vienna Ensemble Pro Audio Input – Mono (or Mono-Stereo)
8) Press “Assign” choose the “Connected Server Intervace” and again press “Assign”
9) Be sure that the “Audio Input” on this screen is set to “In 1/In 2” or whatever the corresponding output in Logic is set to
10) Press “Raise”
11) Press the “Microphone” icon to insert an audio input
12) Go to that input and set the “Input” to “IN 1 / IN 2” or the proper input that corresponds to Logic
13) On the same channel strip go up to “EFFECTS” and press the “+” button to add the effect you want

One question.......is most of your mixing going to occur in VEP Pro?

I'm having issues with this. First off I need to use a reverb plugin that's crashing Logic (both 9 and X), so step 7 where you add it to an audio track won't work. I'd need it in an aux where I can bus my track to. Now, I did this and it worked, BUT.... holy latency. like a full second of latency, doesn't matter what the preferences for buffer size are in LP or VEP.
