Hi Ace,
Had a play with your plugin yesterday, looks like it does what I need. As I wrote in another thread - it would be perfect if it was possible to use VC just for total recall/editing/patch management (pretty please Access!). But as long as this isn't possible, your plugin provides the total recall part, and the responsiveness of MIDI is great - playing via VC never felt this good, even in Live mode.
One thing felt awkward to me though, that the plugin itself opens the MIDI devices, preventing the DAW from using them. Would it be hard to modify the plugin so that MIDI is sent to/received from the VST host? The DAW would take care of routing, and device selection problem will go away:
From the plugin point of view, they're "normal" midi ports, but the device selection in AceVirus is currently based on the device name (must match "Virus TI synth"). I know it's clumsy I'm pretty sure I'll end up adding a combobox to select the MIDI devices, especially for the lucky people owning several Virus
I'll look at the code if you make it available, although I've no idea how to send/receive MIDI from a VST plugin. Hope I can figure it out ))
Again, thanks for your efforts!
