I hope this is the right forum to ask this question. I am wondering if
there is currently any way by which I can implement a custom MIDI plugin
that can be used within LA Pro to process MIDI tracks both in batch mode and
in real time?
I would like to implement a number of custom midi processing plugins similar
to what is abundantly available in Sonar and Cubase using the MFX
architecture of those Win32 programs.
LA has the environment and some processing which can be achieved using it,
but I really want to be able to create a completely custom midi plugin that
goes way beyond what can be done with the Transformer, etc. A user should
be able to select a track or sequence or even just a range of midi
events.and apply one of these midi plugins to process all of the events in
some way. In addition, real time midi event processing would be almost as
beneficial in different situations.
Is there any interface currently available for creating these kinds of
plugins that would be accessible from within LA that way? If there is not,
is it possible that Apple/Emagic would consider adding that kind of support
to LAPro? I have been begging and pleading with MOTU for quite some time
for this. They have their own midi plugins already available, but there is
no publically available interface for programming custom plugins(yet) even
though they have promised it 2 years ago. LA is the future for Mac midi
sequencing, so I really hope Apple/Emagic will consider this a manadatory
feature if its not possible already. Perhaps there is already some
undocumented way to do it?
On windows, both Sonar and Cubase provide this kind of functionality and
there are a number of third party midi MFX plugins which have come to market
because of it, extending the usefulness of both of those applications. It
seems to me like it would be very simply to extend LA to support this kind
of thing. It may also make sense to extend CoreMidi in some way to
standardize midi plugins(similar to AU's). MU's perhaps? B-)
Thanks
