Discussions / Re: Communicating with an FX VST within Cakewalk
« Last post by norfolkmastering on October 28, 2023, 06:00:00 PM »Hi Alexey
I had a look at https://ctrlr.org/ but also at https://www.bluecataudio.com/Products/Product_RemoteControl/ which is well documented and seems to do most of what I need.
Blue Cat Remote Control provides customisable VST control panels which can output MIDI CCs from controls AND allows level meters to be driven from CC inputs.
The biggest issue I am facing is how to get the External MIDI port connected to the VST control panels. The 'Remote Control' plugin is VST3 so MIDI I/O is available but Cakewalk seems to be very poor at routing VST MIDI.
Even though the VST Panels are added as FX to Cakewalk Audio Tracks, it seems I have to create one Cakewalk 'dummy' MIDI track for each VST panel just to get external MIDI port to the VST panel.
Can you tell me:
1. Is there a better way to get external MIDI routed to a VST in Cakewalk?
2. Is AZ Controller able to interface MIDI directly with a VST Panel?
Regards
Robert
