No MIDI input when UI is closed

[M_Holloway]

Hi

I have a sampler based instrument which functions as expected except that when exported as a plugin, it works fine in a DAW but only if the UI is open. When the UI is closed it seems not to be receiving any MIDI messages from the DAW; either from MIDI clips or from a keyboard.

Has anyone had a similar issue and managed to fix it? I've tried searching the forum but didn't find anything.

Thanks

Mike

Don't put real-time MIDI stuff in your UI script - the UI script only functions when the UI is visible. You need to put your MID stuff in a separate, non-deferred, MIDI processor.
