What Usb/midi Interface Works The Best For Riffworks

[pbbobkanobi]

however there are few vst shells out there that can be loaded as a vst plugin and can load other vst plugins and use a dedicated midi out/midi in from plugin itself independent of the host).

Can you elaborate?....lack of midi in RW is the Achille's Heal for me...i have soooo many vst plugins but they are all MIDI controlled.

I Cannot Guarantee that it would work in RW as i don't have standalone yet so cannot test. but here is how it could work

Download Toby's Midipak : http://tobybear.de/p_midibag.html

the MID2VST.dll is that one you need in the entire pak

Next you will need some vst based host like energyxt you can try the demo version from http://www.xt-hq.com/download/ you need the dll version of it that acts as a vst/vsti plugin.
in RW load energyxt as a vst

load the MIDI2Vst.dll by dragging and dropping on the window, also drop the target vst e.g amplitube onto energyxt window.

connect the two (midi2vst midi output node to your vst plugin midi input node) and source audio direct to your vst audio in.

Sounds pretty scray but this seems to be only possible way i can think of. maybe instead of energyxt , you can use chainer but i dont have it right now so can't tell much about it if it would work.

i have tried this in some other host that did not have native midi support
and i used this to control few things and it worked fine there.

I have Chainer...maybe I will give it a try.....thanks for the info.....good stuff!

IF RW can load energyxt vst then it should definitely work.

The Thought just crossed my mind that this eventually could be a great way to record vst synths directly into rw.
