"arbitrary messages" are no fun and need all kinds of hacks (eg sending them from the UI thread). There are a couple of single-parameter VSTs though. Along those lines there's an ancient LADSPA plugin, too: https://code.google.com/archive/p/noisesmith-linux-audio/downloads needs some CFLAGS=-fPIC but otherwise still compiles, but it probably won't run in SomeEvilDAW. A more generic solution: https://github.com/x42/jackmidi2osc Receive MIDI from someplace, generate fancy OSC based on rules. Spencer wrote a similar tool https://github.com/ssj71/OSC2MIDI/ which despite its name can also turn MIDI into OSC. ciao, robin

Robin, Julius, thanks for your replies. Julius, I wasn't aware of OSC magic in faust - I recently used it to decode a mic prototype array I was testing, and it worked like a charm (lazy me just used the online compiler), so I'll definitely check it out. Will need to understand the realtime issues that Robin pointed out, though.

So the plugin will be pretty static once it's set up. I could even live with this being compile-time options. I see. So this would also circumvent the realtime issue, since the plugin would be using the host's MIDI sending mechanism? Thanks for the pointers, I'll look at them.
