MIDI Outputs for VST Plugin

Question

I remember this vaguely with the Hypersonic 2 VST tool.

In principle, this is a normal VST instrument, but if you used it in your project, you can assign its MIDI output (which was equal to the input signal, unless you had transposition or so active) to the input of another MIDI track, so basically it just moves all the MIDI events that will be used by another synthesizer or something else.

In Cubase, the instrument output was indicated next to the physical MIDI inputs in the MIDI input shutdown menu, but the “Use All MIDI Inputs” option in the menu did not include hypersonic output (it was separated by a separator menu).

I did not find a way to do this, does anyone know? I think this is one of those barely documented magic lines ...

Answer 1

I do not use C ++, but to create a VST plugin with MIDI output you need to redefine the function AudioEffectX::canDo()and return it 1to, sendVstMidiEventand possibly sendVstEventscanDo.
