Midi out plugin is not sending any midi.

[oskarsh]

Hey, I have quite a simple project with just a midi player that is playing a sequence.

I know this has been asked several times but the solutions are still not working for me

Setup:

• MidiGeneratorPlayer plays a sequence.
• Connected to a ScriptProcessor (one level down) with Message.sendToMidiOut(); in onNoteOn/onNoteOff. (both are received)
• Internal HISE MIDI monitor shows Note ON/OFF events correctly.
• "Enable MIDI Output" is checked in HISE project settings.
• MIDI drag-and-drop from player to DAW works.

Problem:
No MIDI output received in DAWs (macOS, tested in Bitwig & Ableton).

I've added this to the Settings in HISE (do I need to compile HISE with that flag too or just the plugin)

Questions:
Why isn't MIDI being sent out from the plugin despite Message.sendToMidiOut(); and internal MIDI activity?
For the "Enable MIDI Output" project setting: Does HISE itself need a special compile flag, or is just enabling it in project settings and recompiling the plugin enough?

Any ideas what I might be missing?

In case: I have a MacBook M1 (i read about some obscure bug with that some years back?)!

Thanks!

@oskarsh what have you compiled it as?
You need to compile it as an Instrument when vst3, the MIDI FX option work only for au and Logic

You don't need the extra definition setting since you have checked the "Enable Midi Out"

@ulrik wait, I need to compile as instrument?

I only did compile as FX and MIDI FX since I thought that would be the proper way.

Can Logic also read this instrument and interpret as midi?

Does midi out only work in instruments?

@oskarsh said in Midi out plugin is not sending any midi.:

@ulrik wait, I need to compile as instrument?

Yes if you want it as an vst3

I only did compile as FX and MIDI FX since I thought that would be the proper way.

I have never been able to run a vst3 compiled as MIDI FX, I think it's broken in Hise
However the au version of MIDI FX works at least in Logic, not in Ableton or Reaper

Can Logic also read this instrument and interpret as midi?

I don't know, try to compile it as an au instrument and see

Does midi out only work in instruments?

I think you can outpout midi in FX as well, but some daws will not read it, and MIDI FX as au with Logic

That is my experience at least
