How to export a midi controller as VST/VSTi

Postby Neptune » Fri Apr 30, 2021 2:40 am

Hi All,

it´s a long time back i have been here the last time.

I have (hopefully) a very basic question.

Attached you can see my attempt of a basic SysEx send schematic i have build based on examples i have found here. Many thanks for that.
The change of the parameters and values works like a charm when i am testing the schematic in FS. Also the exe works as a standalone application.

Now my question:
What do i have to change to get it correctly exported as a VST or VSTi, to be able to control the hardware within the DAW (Cubase).
e.g. Which In- and/or Outputs to add/remove?
What type of VST/VSTi is the proposal for such a hardware controller only sending Midi Commands?

Many thanks for your help in advance!
Best regards
Neptune

P.S. Build with beta version

Drag in 2 AUDIO INPUTS [Left, Right]

Drag in 2 AUDIO OUTPUTS [Left, Right]

Directly connect Left-->Left, Right-->Right.

Provide a MIDI OUT

Export as a VST, use a unique ID


That's how I'm recalling it done.

Thank you RJ.
CC massage now passed from VST. Still no sysex.
But i think this is a different story as far as i understand from different forum topics.

Got it now. Cubase is sending Sysex to the device.
All parameter changes are received by the device.

I removed the MidiIn Devices and added a simple Input connected to MidiOut (as last connection)
I added two mono in and two mono out, connected to each other L-L/R-R
I removed the F0 and F7 from the sysex strings as they are added by the String to Sysex (found a note in Trogs MidiHelpers)
Exported as VST3 Instrument.

Need to find out how to enable Automation recording, and so on,...
Update: Just added a Preset Manager. Knob Changes Automation records fine

Thanks again
Neptune
