How would I go about programatically interacting with VST(i) Plugins to synthesize audio?

Take, for example, the VSTi Triforce, by Tweakbench. When loaded up in any VST host on the market, it allows the host to send a (presumably MIDI) signal to the VSTi. The VSTi will then process that signal and output synthesized audio as created by a software instrument within the VSTi. For example, sending an A4 (MIDI note, I believe)...
