      @narrsam Kontakt and KSP will do this for you.... but its a big product for a small task.

      Add my vote to the "please can we have MIDI out" feature request

        @d-healey VST3 has nothing to do with it, most MIDI VST are VST2, so must just be a HISE issue.

          @Lindon I up-vote your up-vote of my vote!

          Kontakt... ahhh, well... my whole point of investigating Hise is to avoid working with it in the first place!

          I know you can generate MIDI events with KSP to be used internally (Hise can do that even better), but I'm not sure you can broadcast them out of Kontakt which is my goal (a free standing MIDI processing VST)
          .
          I don't want to bash the Kontakt thing as it's obviously being used to produce some amazing instruments... but from an amateur developer's point of view -IMHO- the thing is just horrible!

          • The interface is so cluttered you need a GPS to find your way inside it
          • Not so very well documented
          • The scripting language is awful! Cave man era syntax, you have to declare your GUI in the same script as your program's logic, only 5 script slots which tends to make your script a mile long and a nightmare to debug/maintain if you are to do anything descent, and the fact that the slots can't speak to each other unless you use some mambo-jumbo special variables drives me nuts!

          (Well... seems like I bashed the thing already :p)

          I think Hise is a much smarter design, and although it's still in its infancy, I can see its potentials surpassing Kontakt by leaps.

            I agree, a VST can certainly provide MIDI outputs, it's the fact that frameworks like JUCE or HISE just don't seem to consider it as a needed feature so it's somehow neglected.

            After fiddling around a bit more with JUCE I stand corrected; its seems to me that you can make a VST plugin with it that outputs MIDI, it's just that it's not well documented (there is no example for a "MIDI" VST and just one example of a standalone that outputs MIDI and its broken!).

            I think I'm going with JUCE right now although it means that I have to learn C++, a thing I have been avoiding for years :(

            I would love to stay within HISE's friendly environment though... please @Christoph-Hart ... make that happen!

              "I know you can generate MIDI events with KSP to be used internally (Hise can do that even better), but I'm not sure you can broadcast them out of Kontakt which is my goal (a free standing MIDI processing VST)"

              -- yup not a problem in Kontakt - all generated events (play_note etc.) can be "output to the world"

              options/Engine/Send MIDI to outside world

              But that's enough about Kontakt - other than to say - it'd be nice to do this in HISE...

                          I didn't test it properly though (just checking at JUCE plugin host and REAPER), so let me know if any hosts behave funky.

                            @Christoph-Hart Oh an early Christmas present! Thank you! Does this mean we have MIDI out API commands? Is this VST3 only or does VST2 support it?

                                @Christoph-Hart what Dave says -- thanks a lot. API documentation (even scratchy and vague..)?
