… yes, it’s Friday again and a new VST Live pre-release, version 3.0.56, is online. This time, we have several improvements and a long-awaited new feature.
Layers: Modernized Input Menu
The modern VST Live menu has now been added to the Layer Input menu.
Plug-Ins: MIDI-Out Support for Instruments
Finally, this long-awaited request has made it into VST Live! It’s now possible to route MIDI Out events from an Instrument to another Layer or MIDI Track.
Thanks for adding Plugin Midi-Out routing! I’ve been replacing my Tracks sub-routing using (BlueCat Audio) Patch works, and directly using a step sequencer in a track.
One small peculiarity - In the titlebar of the track - typically this is where you change the audio routing of a given plugin on that track (i.e. if you want to rout a plugin’s audio out to a bus channel, or stereo out, or whatever).
Now, if you have a track with a VSTfx instrument plugin assigned (like ‘Stepic’ step sequencer), and you change that audio routing to <NC> (no connection) on that track, this will disable the Midi stream coming from ‘Stepic’ on that track.
This isn’t a big problem since Stepic isn’t generating any audio, so the audio routing could be set to anything. It is just peculiar that setting an audio-routing would disable the Midi routing.
Other than this, I’m really enjoying Midi-out routing!
Oh that one… okay, okay I see
Because I know, MIDI plugins (for insert) are long a waited by keyboard player users
Therefore that one “MIDI plugin” that came into my mind.
So all is about: that new port forwarding feature is exclusive to VST3 plugins, right? Did I get it finally correctly now?
(I didn’t know, so thanks for clarifying the requirements of that new feature)
… as @Kai_Schwirzke already mentioned : “Support of MIDI-Out for Instruments” is only working only for VST3. But, yeah! - it should work for VST2, too. We’ll check …
I see
