Hello,
I would like to use pd to host a VST instrument. Then I expect that the midi keyboard can trigger notes. After that I will also need to send DMX command for lights from the same midi notes. I hope that puredata is the correct tool.
I found the thomas's vst~ description : http://puredata.info/Members/thomas/vst I try first to use the vst~ object from binary (windows) to avoid installing any SDK. To work around an error message concerning loading loadbang, I installed the vanilla 0.43 instead of the newest 0.47. (I believe I need to compile vst / flext / pd to use the latest).
I would like to check the aim of the patch vst~-help.pd I can load my vst instrument with the patch, the display edit window checkbox shows the vst instrument GUI. My question concerns the noise~ in input, can I replace it by a midi notein object ? The element named "pd midi" in the patch seems to generate midi and not to receive, is that right ?
With best regards,
Vincent Vanbesien
