Hi,
An interesting feature would be the possiblity to link MPT in MIDI, on the same machine, with a bank application, with MPT as master.
Thus, it would be easier to work with MPT piloting MIDI exclusive applications, like developper's kit MIDI sequencers (Nintendo DS "Nitrosoundmaker"), etc).
I remember doing such a thing 13 years ago on a videogame ("Fade to Black") using an Amiga 1200 with Octamed, connected to Power PC samplers cards and Akai and Roland Samplers. Worked fine ;-) But it was a connexion between different machines.
And what I'm interested in is the possiblity to do such thing between MPT and programs on the SAME machine.
Maybe a VST plug already enables such a fonction ?
Anyone knows ?
Thanks.
Tobybear made plugin called VST2MID and it's part of his midibag (http://www.tobybear.de/p_midibag.html) suite. The plugin allows a VST host to send midi data to a midi out port.
Apart from that you need something like MIDI Yoke (http://www.midiox.com/myoke.htm). This gives you MIDI out ports that are re-routed to MIDI in ports.
Very interesting, thanks a lot for the info :-)
if you got this working, post up!! asap
i´ve allready checkd out vst2midi , got mpt playin my hardware synths
really dope feature... now i would like to sync mpt with acid
and record those synths to separate audio tracks, that would be the bomb!!
I've not tryed yet, so much work before ;-)
As for me, I'd like to pilot "Nitrosoundmaker", the Nintendo DS MIDI exclusive music maker.
Would be terribly more simple if I could manage to do so...
Going through old requests... älsking basically already outlined the solution: Use OpenMPT's MIDI I/O plugin and something like MIDI Yoke to create a virtual MIDI connection between OpenMPT and any other MIDI-capable application. Writing a virtual MIDI driver really isn't in the scope of the OpenMPT project.
