Get MIDI input from a track inside a M4L MIDI Effect Device

Since L11 and thanks to the [routing] abstraction, we can get MIDI from tracks within an audio effect.
I'm currently working on a MIDI effect in which I'd like to use MIDI notes from another track. It works with the "old" send/receive way, but I was wondering if there was a way to select the source via the API.
Thanks !

short answer: no. Only audio effects get new midi input routing.

Yeah that's what I assumed.
That would be handy, though, in some occasions.

Hi Chapelier Fou

I'm actually trying to make an audio effect that receives midi output from different tracks. Can you explain what you mean by the "[routing] abstraction"?
