MIDI effect plugin for Ableton Live
Hi Guys
How's it goin?
I am new to pluggo.
I have been looking into it for about two weeks now.
I have gone through the 10 tutorials and the pluggo section of the MSP
reference manual.
For some reason I am unable to find the way to do what I am looking for.
Here it goes.
I would like to create a MIDI processing plugin for Ableton Live's Operator
instrument.
I want to be able to insert this plugin in front of Operator in the chain of
MIDI plugins.
I would like this plugin to send MIDI CC to Operators control dials and
back.
In essence I want to duplicate all the operators controls in my plugin and
do some weird things in the way they are manipulated.
My problem is, I can't find a way to tell plugconfig to make the plugin come
in as a pure MIDI effect.
Ableton Live's native MIDI effects work that way.
If I use: #C synth;
It comes in as an instrument plugin and I can not insert an operator on the
same track.
If I don't use: #C synth;
It comes in as an audio plugin.
I have been looking but I am not aware of any other options for the
plugconfig.
Can anyone steer me in the right direction please?
Thanks

Hey There M-Man

Live's MIDI VST implementation is interesting.
You need to put your MIDI processing plug on an audio channel - so make it an effect. Then on the MIDI (Operator) track, select the audio channel the effect is on as the MIDI source.
Live does not provide for a way to use MIDI vst plugs in the same way as its own MIDI processing plugs. You will notice this also with all the Toby Bear stuff.
