PlugnScripts midi out?

[Saffran]

Have i got it right when i think that it is impossible to make an Midi generator or sequenser with PlugnScripts because of no Midi out possibilities?

You can make a plug-in that outputs MIDI to a track but not a standalone MIDI application. At least that’s my understanding.

Yes, i saw that.
Any suggestions what software can be a help to a non-programmer but fairly decent it-guy? I can read and understand what a small script does.
My idea was to be able to develop a vst that by leftclick on a picture put the midinotes associated with it on to the miditrack the vst is on.

When used as a plug-in, Plug'n Script actually has a MIDI output, so you can definitely use it to generate MIDI events in a sequencer. It's only the standalone application that does not have a physical MIDI output.

In this vein - can a plug-in be made to generate an OSC command to the outside world? And can plugins be made to react when a track is selected?

[Blue Cat Audio]

There is currently no OSC implementation available in plug-ins. I guess you can use OSC directly when writing a plug-in in native form.
Track selection is unfortunately an information that is not available to plug-ins.

I meant to ask, can a plug-in be written that knows when a track is in record and sends a MIDI event when that happens?

[Blue Cat Audio]

Yes, in most host applications (except Pro Tools I think), transport information tells the plug-in when it is recording, so you can send a MIDI event when this happens.
