Problems with PianoTeq and other vsts
Hi all,
Hope this isn't a dumb question.
I seem to be having a problem hosting PianoTeq in this patch.
Basically, I'm replacing the midiout objects with the vst or au objects, but when I do this, it seems that the input of the plugins interpret the incoming data as control data - it changes parameters rather than triggering MIDI notes
This seems to work without issue within Logic - if I set the midiout objects to individual MIDI channels and map the inputs correspondingly within the environment.
What am I doing wrong? I had thought that the data is formatted correctly (each micro mod) subpath has a midi format object as the final objet.
Would be nice to see [micromod].
Make sure you use [midiformat]'s rightmost's outlet to connect to a vst.
I can't see what's supposed to come out of these [micromod] things, but basically:
Replace [midiout] by [midiparse]
That way you've made the output an input.
Connect the rightmost output of [midiparse] to the [vst~] input.
[vst~] needs "midievents" and the last output of [midiparse] delivers them.
Hi Peter,
This is what is going on inside.
Basically, it's a frequency based microtonal playback algorithm - lets me trigger softsynths with MIDI pitch bend.
Replacing with MIDI parse still doesn't seem to work, unfortunately.
what is flomx ?

Peter told to connect rightmost outlet of midiformat or midiparse, whatever.
[ftomx] missing, but we could not test anyway. At least I cannot imagine that anyone understands this input section ;-)
If [midiout] works, then [vst~] should also work.
Here are the usual connections:

you dont send midi into vst~ like you send it to midiout, please refer to the vst~ helpfile.
Got it working, thanks all! :)
