I must say this is something I would love to see added to JUCE @jules - I would be willing to contribute financially directly towards its development. Anyone on the forum interested to take on writing a JUCE VST MA wrapper? Is it even possible?
Of course, I would also very much like to see support of VST MIDI inserts in the DAWs concerned too!
“Download the VST SDK from the Steinberg SDK download portal. If you download the VST3 SDK then you can build both VST3- and VST2-compatible plug-ins.”?
It is possible to write MIDI only VST / Audiounit plugins using JUCE - I’m working on one - but Cubase / Sonar (IIRC) / Digital Performer do not support them as MIDI inserts. Cubase’s MIDI inserts rely on Steinberg’s little used VST MA SDK.
I have already installed these plugins. The Problem is that they are not midi insert plugins. You can make 2 tracks and rout them to your vst instruments, but I would like to have a midi insert plugin because it is more convenient. Cubase is number one host for midi but they do not offer a velocity midi plugin - somehow a bit funny…
midi-plugins.de is one of the few developers writing VST MA MIDI effects which will appear in Cubase as MIDI inserts as you expect.
The trouble is that Steinberg have made it very unattractive to anyone to bother developing MIDI inserts for Cubase because they’re using their proprietary VST MA SDK and it is not at all widely supported by other DAWs (who mostly implement VST / AU MIDI insert effects).
Unfortunately, I’ve just explained why @jules and his team are very unlikely to add a VST MA wrapper to JUCE, no matter how nicely I ask.
If JUCE supported VST MA, I would have offered to write the plugin you requested. But unfortunately I think writing the necessary VST MA wrapper is way beyond my current capability, if it’s even possible.

you said you’re working on a midi plugin with juce . if it’s open-source can you give me your AppConfig.h? I’m dying to get my midi plugin working
hi, sorry I did not start yet. The files i mentioned are from a audio plugin with midi data, not a midi insert plugin. The files are from here: https://code.google.com/archive/p/pizmidi/
