Kevin,

The Audio Unit API provides a callback mechanism to provide MIDI output to the host, however, very few hosts support this feature, the only one I am aware of that does is Presonus Studio One. You can search for "kAudioUnitProperty_MIDIOutputCallback" in the documentation for more information.

A method you can use is to create a virtual MIDI source from your Audio Unit, using "MIDISourceCreate" in the Core MIDI API. You can then send MIDI messages from your virtual source, and route the MIDI in your host.

This is not a great solution, it is much more comfortable to send messages to the next device in the chain (possible and well supported with VST), but until the majority of hosts begin to support the MIDI output callback mechanism it is not really possible.

would I start with AUMIDIEffectBase... Also, what hosts support these
sorts of plugins?

Thanks,
