Audio FX plugin with midi In

[aaronventure]

@ulrik build VST3i

[ulrik]

@aaronventure I mean audio fx plugin that can receive midi

[ulrik]

@ulrik I suppose that feature has been taken away in some daws?

[aaronventure]

@ulrik I know, but it's not working. So export your MIDI plugin as an instrument and simply load it before/after any sound-generating instrument.

Some DAWs might not like that, I'm not sure if Ableton still has a limit of one VSTi per track.

@ulrik Working here with Sordina. This is the only extra thing I added, but I don't think it's related HISE_ENABLE_MIDI_LEARN=1

Studio One requires some special setup to get MIDI into an audio effect. - https://vi-control.net/community/threads/sordina-2-explore-new-horizons-with-brass-and-string-mutes.146967/page-3#post-5467914

@d-healey Ah shit sorry, I thought we were talking about MIDI out. Brainfart, sorry.

I own Sordina, I have not used it for a long time, so I tried it and I can confirm that midi doesn't work in Sordina on Logic, and Ableton Live MacOS

@ulrik Latest version of Sordina?

[ulrik]

@d-healey yes, Sordina 2 downloaded today

@ulrik Seems like this is a quirk of Logic rather than the plugin not responding to MIDI. I would assume the same is true for Ableton. https://www.logicprohelp.com/forums/topic/145708-how-do-i-send-midi-to-a-midi-controlled-audio-effects-plugin/

[ulrik]

@d-healey Yes it seems you're right

@ulrik Ok, my progress in finding a way to communicate midi to Effect plugins inside Logic and Ableton Live :

Using an extra plugin that send OSC messages to the Effect plugin seems to work quite nice, all I need for this plugin is to trigger the TransportHandler with note on and off messages.

In Logic the extra plugin (Send OSC) goes into the Midi FX Slot on the same track as the Effect plugin
In Live I need to set up an extra track with midi in enabled all the time (even if another track is selected)
