Midi CC tracker for motorized drawbars

I'm so glad I found this forum. Most likely you’re my last chance to help me solve my problem.

I have switched over from N.I. B4II to GSi VB3 for sound reasons. The only feature I really miss is the ability to output the current state of the drawbar via midi when a new scene is selected since I’m using a motor fader controller. My host is Brainspawn Forte 2.0 which I have been told manages scenes with fxp/fxb data by “sending a full fxp or fxb data dump to it”.

So what I’m after is a plugin that • tracks incoming CC data • outputs it when Forte switches to a different scene (i.e. when fxp/fxp data it sent to it)

Apart from that it needs • a midi output that lists my physical outputs since Forte doesn’t support physical midi output as standard • a dummy stereo audio output for Forte to accept it

I hope my requirements a clearly laid out. Otherwise, please feel free to ask. So I’m asking you to tell whether this is possible with SynthMaker and help me achieve it. I have played with the demo version and managed to create the outputs, but the problem was the fxb and the knobs.

Thank you very much in advance – you’re my last hope! Marcus

I think FXP/FXB extraction is the only real issue... I can't recall if the data is binary or not; if so that will add some complication. There are requests for proper binary file support within S|M but there's no word on if/when we might expect to see them.

I'm sure someone more familiar with VST standards can settle this issue for you... the rest should not be too difficult but this could make any S|M solution relay on an external file conversion that would perhaps make it not an appropriate tool for the job.

Thank you for your answer. So fxb/fxb isn't something that's created automatically by the host program from a plugin's automation parameters? Does it have to be implemented individually?

    Open it in SynthMaker?

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
