sending midi data from Max to VST plugin in DAW
Is it possible to send multiple midi messages from Max to a VST midi plugin in a DAW that is not ableton? (cubase, logic, pro tools)
How should I do it? assuming my midi vst plugin is some orchestration vst and I want to control some of its parameters using Max ( note pitch, velocity, event articulation, envelope etc) how it is possible to make?
if that plugin reacts to midi input,
which it obviously must if it is an Instrument,
then send midi from Max to it using IAC buss on Mac.
On windows ... you need to install some rtmidi drivers
to send midi between apps.
the max msp midi output can't send to the vst midi input? I must use externals drivers?
In any case I will check your suggestion soon
vst instrument plugin can only receive
midi through DAW's midi routings.
that means app to app midi.
On Mac use IAC buss
on windows no way, unless you install virtual midi drivers of your choice.
...
and so on
...
Once that works, send midi from Max to DAW,
and in DAW route input to the track where Vst plugin resides.
you can not expect any plugin to receive midi directly, only through DAW.
Or did that change ?
Max does have built in midi to/from other applications. If you look at the midi setup page in the settings it’s there. You’d need to enable that in your daw where ever you enable midi input/output also. Check out the help files for the midiout object and I think it’ll have the info you’re looking for.
