Thanx for the quick reply Thomas! There's a lot of plugs around that deal with midi out...for example a lot of stuff from Tobybear ( http://www.tobybear.de ), check out his nice (and freeware/donationware) midibag suite... there's a lot of Synthedit made stuf too ;) ... oh...do you think will be possible to do a version of your [vst~] for maxmsp too?...using flext? thanx lalo p.s. : these are a few suggestins i made to the maxmsp community...maybe you they can help you
- provide full VSTTimeInfo to [vst~] ...it's a class in VSTSDK
providing all tempo information to plug-ins
(start/stop/transport/bar position/beat/ticks/sampleposition/etc...)
if to give pd a "classic" vst host implementation is not the
case...i have in mind another strategy....
do a kind of [vsthost~] object wich provide all the vst event
known ..it's inlets could be bpm, time signature, start, stop, and
inlets to receive info from other time-related max objects as
[metro], [timer] etc.
it's outlets could be a kind of "vstevent" one...to be passed to
a new [vst~] inlet called i.e. "vstevent".....the [vst~] could have
a "vstevent" outlet too to pass it's received or
internal-generated vstevents.
