Do Midi Controlled Audio Effects Require AUv3 ?

[IsaacToast]

I’m trying to build an audio plugin whose parameters can be controlled via a midi controller- specifically noteON and noteOff. User hits any key on their MIDI keyboard and it sets a parameter to a certain value, they let go and it goes back again.

I’m exporting an AU component and testing in GarageBand. My first thought was maybe GarageBand does not support Midi Controlled Audio Effects plugins- this is what I gathered from a 3 year old thread somewhere online anyway.

But then I read somewhere that audio effects that accept midi input are AUv3 format. Is that correct? In that case, is it possible to export AUv3 in HISE or is this thread from last August still valid: https://forum.hise.audio//post/68619 ?

Thanks!

@IsaacToast My effects plugin from HISE supports midi input. Try testing in Reaper.

@d-healey Oh good! Phew! Thanks!

Very pleased to report my first attempt at a plugin worked more or less as expected once I realized I had to route the midi from another track in Reaper. Now I am getting excited about what this thing can do.

So, thanks again for all your help @d-healey. And Thank you @Christoph-Hart for this software. Pretty cool. Pretty, pretty cool!
