Whoa, there is another solution…
I have not messed with scriplets yet, though did modify existing scripts to randomize parameters on a plugin. Was a lot of work, haha. Still have more I want to do in that regard, just haven’t gotten to it.
Just did a search to see if anyone had tried this yet (forwarding CC data to local GP port), search came back empty. But from your wording, I did find InjectMidiEvent and then I found this thread: Controller transformation for program change - #7 by jbgermany, which injects CC data into the Local GP Port.
Let’s see if I can modify it to work…it would save some virtual midi ports and keep it in house which probably wouldn’t be a bad thing. Any insight?
