<![CDATA[HISE plugin as virtual midi port?]]>Hello people,

i was thinking about making my own trigger fx plugin, but before i start working on it, I'd like to make sure it is actually doable with HISE.
It should only get the transients and translate them into midi messages, without triggering samples, and until here i found snippets that might help. But then on the instrument track, the plugin should be selectable as midi input.

Can a HISE plugin appear as a virtual MIDI device/port in the DAW? Or would it need specific implementations for each possible host?
Basically it should appear here with the stock studio one Gate plugin and the steven slate trigger.

Thank you!

This one, it has the Message.sendToMidiOut()
i dont think it would be a midi fx though, since it should be put on an audio track?

i will try to export the AU instead of the VST3, and see if the issue is the SDK

That specific SDK is not great for supporting MIDI-FX. There is some discussion about it on this forum. If you are able to test AU, or just VST (disable VST3 Support in the project settings), it may work.

What example snippet do you have? The docs mention you need to forward MIDI messages using Message.sendToMidiOut()

no, i tried it out with the snippet i found and it does not show up. In that list usually also show up external keyboards, so maybe it needs some more advanced settings than just having midi outputs?
