Hey, I have a plugin that is supposed to take midi input and produce midi output and I have set up the plugin to be a generator in the vst2 charactaristics in Projucer. Still my host which is Fl Studio detects it as an effect plugin. I have tried also the unknown category option and synth option but still no change. Any ideas how to solve this?
