Ability to use midi input ans control vst configuration ?

[guillaume-gagnaire]

Hi,

I'm just trying to know if my project is possible or not : on Windows, I want to create an app (With electron) to create drum sounds from midi input.

I need to know if :

1. starting a VST without window opened is possible ?
2. pass it some midi input
3. control VST with nodejs? Like, change kits, etc

Thanks!

@guillaume-gagnaire Hey, did you had any success with this?

Hey @Catsvilles, I ended up using VSTHost, who has OSC controls, (and the developer kindly added one control to load a configuration file), writing FXB save file for the VST plugin, and load FXB file through OSC :)

Quite complicated, but it's the only way i found to interact with the internal memory of a VST.
