Linux, I don't use VSTs, but I used editor plugins for external MIDI
devices, when I used the Atari ST as sequencer and it was amazing to
use very short SysEx data in real-time, when using separated MIDI
outputs, to control external MIDI devices. Controlling a synth by
SysEx in real-time works, assumed the actually non-real-time SysEx
data is short and you're using separated MIDI outputs.
The problem is that I have no idea what advantage a VST plug-in would
offer, compared to the stand-alone version of the editor. If I can see
benefits then I could try. Any with Ardour ? What about a
sequencer/tracker like Renoise ? Through MIDI I can sequence the
external synth right now. What would a VST plug-in editor offer
more ? Would I be able to sequence the changing of sound parameters
for instance ?
