What would a VST plug-in editor offer more ?
Would I be able to
sequence the changing of sound parameters for instance ?
I don't know if Linux sequencers support VST editor automation. As I
already pointed out, I used automation for editors, when I used the
Atari ST as sequencer.
1. Atari ST MIDI is hard real-time, since the rout from hardware to
software is directly (no protocols from a to b, as for modern
computers) and no multi-tasking is involved, IOW real-time abilities
were much better these days.
2. I used separated outputs from the sequencer to the synth inputs. I
didn't send the data of 16 channels including SysEx by one MIDI
output.
If you have dedicated outputs and you just send SysEx to modify a
filter, then the non-real-time SysEx data is without a checksum and
much shorter than e.g. the real-time data for a pitch bend, IOW,
SysEx can be used in real-time and yes, you could control some
things, that might be not available by MIDI control change. OTOH many
synth provide to assign control change data to filters, so sometimes no SysEx is needed.
Pardon for sending that much post scriptums ;).
