When I send [midievent 144 72 127], a note on message for C4, to VST~ I receive this message in the Max window: “midievent: effect doesn’t want events”.

I’m assuming that VST~ thinks Aalto is an effect rather than a soft synth, which would explain why it’s not accepting midi notes.
Is there a work around for this, or am I just doing something completely wrong.

I used to use a dummy Pluggo plug for just this purpose,Cheers

(which is my dummy^^)
