Audio Unit MIDI Output

Hello Mailing List,

I am developing a step sequencer Audio Unit plug-in. I want my step sequencer plug-in to output MIDI.

After a bit of reading on the mailing list archive, there seem to be two approaches:
  • Create a virtual MIDI source using MIDISourceCreate
  • Use the Audio Unit MIDI output callback function (kAudioUnitProperty_MIDIOutputCallback)
However, it seems that the Audio Unit callback function does not seem to be supported by any hosts. I built the SinSynth with MIDI Output demo and it doesn't seem to be able to output MIDI.

The VST standard has a pretty simple interface, there is a function "sendVstEventsToHost" that you call, and it works as expected without any hassle.

So, can anyone clarify to me the best approach to use, and perhaps tell me which hosts (if any!) support the Audio Unit MIDI callback function. It seems like a very simple and reasonable feature to expect.

Thanks for any help,

Matt
