You need to copy the vst into your plugin folder then rescan it. Once that is done you can drag it from the plugin chooser on the left to an empty MIDI track as a vst.

it should have been installed automatically when you installed ultra analog.

actually all the manual says is this...

TFM wrote:7 Using the Ultra Analog VA as a Plug-In
Ultra Analog VA is available in VST, DXi, AudioUnit and RTAS (for Mac OS only) formats and integrates seamlessly into the industry most popular multi-track recording and sequencing envi- ronments as a virtual instrument plug-in. The plug-in versions will work exactly the same way as the standalone version, except for the audio, MIDI, and latency configurations that will be taken care of by the host sequencer. Furthermore Ultra Analog VA works as any other plug-in in these environments so we recommend that you refer to your sequencer documentation in case you have problems running Ultra Analog VA as a plug-in. We review here some general points to keep in mind when using a plug-in version of Ultra Analog VA.
7.1 Window Size
The size of the Ultra Analog VA window is fixed when it is used as a plug-in.
7.2 Audio and MIDI parameters
When Ultra Analog VA is used as a plug-in, the audio and MIDI ports, sampling rate, buffer size, and audio format are determined by the host sequencer.
7.3 Automation
Ultra Analog VA supports automation functions of host sequencers. Automation can usually be done by using MIDI links and recording MIDI events, or by recording the motion of controls on the interface.
7.4 Multiple Instances
Multiple instances of Ultra Analog VA can be launched simultaneously in a host sequencer.
7.5 Saving Projects
When saving a project in a host sequencer, the program list is saved with the project in order to make sure that the instrument will be in the same state as when you saved the project when you re-open it even if the preset library of the instrument was modified. MIDI links are also saved.
Note that the default program list (the same as that loaded in standalone mode) appears when Ultra Analog VA is opened in a new project or if a new instance of the plug-in is opened in an existing project. To change the default program list, use the Save All Programs command from the Programs menu in an instance of the instrument which displays the desired program list.

7.6 MIDI channel
Make sure that the MIDI controller, sequencer and Ultra Analog VA all use the same MIDI channel. If you are not certain of the channel used by your controller or sequencer, set the MIDI channel of Ultra Analog VA to Omni.
7.7 MIDI program change
MIDI program changes are supported in the plug-in versions of Ultra Analog VA. When a MIDI program change is received by the application, the current program used by the synthesis engine is changed to that having the same number as that of the MIDI program change message.
7.8 Performance
Using a plug-in in a host sequencer requires CPU processing for both applications. The load on the CPU is even higher when multiple instances of a plug-in or numerous different plug-ins are used. To decrease CPU usage, remember that you can use the freeze of bounce to track functions of the host sequencer in order to render to audio the part played by a plug-in instead of recalculating it every time it is played.
am i missing it?
