(This is not quite as silly as it may sound.)
I have created a little VST3 “instrument” plugin which speaks (and displays) the last MIDI note it has received.
Why? I find it a helpful endpoint when testing/debugging Dorico Percussion Map issues. One can click on score percussion notes, and it gives more / better information than “Silence” or “It Sounds Like the Wrong Drum”.
Details: VST3 64-bit. Announces notes 24-96, otherwise “Unknown”. Female voice, English.
Minimally tested on Dorico 5.1.81.2225, Windows 10. Try at your own risk, YMMV, etc. More testing will happen. Reasonable feedback is welcomed.
