You can count me in for the plugs+driver for 20US$ (if you're still offering it at that price). I'm not sure if I'll be using Stand alone or VST-MIDI (haven't decided on a host yet... thinking of using Reason, thus no VST).mbncp wrote:> Can software be ported to VST or MFX for easier integration?
The problem is that MFX doesn't support sysex and some host that support VST-MIDI don't support sysex either (ex: eXT).
So what I trying now, is to have an external app that will convert these triggers, making it possible with any host.
This app works also a little different from the previous script as I use the NoteOn event to trigger a fret down (or string velo) instead of the sysex, as this reduces latency by approximately 10 msec, and this does make a difference.
The app can also detect Capo and Tuning from the EZ guitars, and the plate from the AG.
But it's the mfx, vst plug (or the app) that converts the triggers to actual notes, so you can change play parameters after the recording (fret velo, open string velo, hammer mode, ..).
So, the idea is to have a standalone app that can send the triggers (to be used by the plugs), the converted events (like the script) or both.
The best would be that the app is actually a MIDI driver so there is no need for a virtual driver, this would make it also easier for a host that don't support Mfx or VSt-MIDI, sending the recorded triggers to the driver, then sending the processed events back to the host in a transparent way.
Now, if I have at least 10 people who would agree to buy the plugs+driver for 20U$, I start the project. (the DDK from MS to create the drivers is 199 U$)
For people who prefer to wait and see, it should later be available for about 40U$ - 50 U$.
To pre-order (no money until it's done) or for more info , you can PM me or use the email address from this page : http://www.mypage.bluewin.ch/ncplus/midi_index.html
Edit:
Please specify also which host you are using and preferred usage:
1) Stand alone 2) VST-MIDI 3) Mfx 4) VSTMA (steinberg only MIDI plugs)
