Hi,

I've seen some old threads on the topic of a VST host module in SM, but this seems to have been dropped.

Are there plans to resurrect that eventually ?

Thank you

I would find it very doubtful to be honest with the FLS deal It would only really be useful if you wanted to use SM to make music realtime and that is catered for now with FLS so i wouldn't wait for it to happen 😉

Actually, I'm looking for a simple way of "wrapping" VST plugins within a higher level plugin.

The reason is that some VST synths don't pass the MIDI data through, so when you want to chain them, in Reaper for example, they end up "eating" the MIDI messages.

So basically my wrapper would send the MIDI messages to both the VST and to its MIDI output.

I thought maybe SM could help me build such a wrapper.

I'm sure this is not something new to you guys. What have you done to workaround it ?

Thanks

Luc, I haven't actually used MIDI in Reaper - but can you use ReaControlMIDI and some routing to get around it? I notice that if you click the MIDI button at the top of ReaControlMIDI there is an option "Allow VST to send/modify MIDI".

    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.
