hi @ all.
i made a simple osm in sm for contoling the knobs of my hardware synth in a daw. in sm it works all fine. the osm receives all midi messages and the knobs turn when i turn the knobs of my synth. and the knobs of my synth receives midi messages and turn when i turn the knobs in sm. exe also working fine. but when i export the osm to vst and load it in a daw like cubase or ableton there is one problem: the vst receives all messages and the knobs turn when i turn the knobs of my synth. but the synth don't receive messages when i turn the knobs of the vst 🙁 . what is the issue? can anyone help me to solve this problem? thx.

Welcome to the forum, Mastrcode.
Sorry to answer a question with more questions, but...
-Are your knobs using SysEx at all?; this has been problematic with some hosts.
-Are you sending the MIDI via the hosts MIDI outs, or do you have a direct connection in your design to a hardware output? (both are possible, but the problems involved differ).
-Does your design have any audio inputs or outputs - some hosts are a bit funny about this, and insist on having them even if they are not used.
For Cubase, you may find thus Wiki link useful... Cubase MIDI FX
If possible, attach your .osm file to a forum post - though you may have to wait a few posts until you are granted permission (I can't quite remember what the rules are for that)

I didn't use sysex.

I tried both ways, but both didn't work

I also tried this. with no result.

Make a trivial example VST (e.g. volume control) that uses the same control system and see if the problem persists.
If it does post the example and others can replicate and troubleshot.
If it doesn't then you know to look deeper into what you're doing with the controls.

Yeah, problem solved. I did additional connect (why ever 😊 ) a midi through from midi in to midi out. after removing this link it works perfect in cubase. small issue, but with a large effect. 😀

Such are the nature of bugs.
