I THINK they've fixed that. I think. :?:

The only thing that comes to mind is to create two plug-ins - the first works in the instrument channel, but does not generate sound, but only transfers midi data to the second plug-in, for example, to Windows via shared memory.

is this even still an issue? have daw vendors not been able (or rather: willing) to fix this in 10 years? i'm mostly using just the juce pluginhost for experimenting, not an actual daw

If we're talking MIDI with VST2 then it should work in all major hosts just fine (although there's a general theme that setting it up tends to be a bit inconvenient as you typically have to create the MIDI track manually). If we're talking VST3 then I have no idea.

i guessed so. anything else would be a shame.

I tried it in FL Studio, but in no way does the VST plug-in in the audio slot receive messages from the midi keyboard, only midi СС messages.

In FL you need to create a "Midi Out" device (as a generator), then set the output MIDI port and then go into your effects properties and set the input MIDI port to match. Then when you select the Midi Out device and play stuff, the notes are sent to the effect (which can sit on a mixer track).
