Arpeggiator - Can AU and VST instruments made in HISE send midi out info?

[LeeC]

Hey guys,

Literally on the brink of finishing an instrument and I fear for the answer to this question (or no answer ) but here it goes......

Can AU and VST instruments made in HISE send midi out info?

I know that the newly introduced midifx can do this but very few daws support the midifx format at this point in time (Logic X is the only one that I'm aware of that does).

As an example, I'm trying to apply patterns generated using HISE's arpeggiator to trigger a third party virtual instrument (eg a Kontakt piano or woodwind library etc).

Is this possible at this point in time?

Cheers

@LeeC I'm afraid it's not possible (but I might have wrong)
AFAIR this feature has been asked but I think it's not yet implemented.
Christoph recently added the midi input for FXs, but still no midi output for instruments (or midi fx)...

[LeeC]

@ustk I tested the midi output for midi fx and this definitely works in Logic X.

I really hope you're wrong about midi output for instruments but I have a feeling that you're right
I guess I'll have to park development on this until the feature becomes available.

I think I've tested the MIDI FX format also sucessfully in Ableton, so it's not just Logic...

@Christoph-Hart is implementing midi out functionality into HISE's vst instrument a difficult thing?
Just curious how complex this kind of thing is (not fishing for anything honest ).
I imagine that it's not a trivial thing to do...
