Is there a (free, open source) plugin out there that
allows for
controlling the parameters of a plugin from another plugin? I
realize that question's a bit nebulous. I'd like to, for example,
have a plugin that exposes a MIDI input. When a NOTE ON is received on
that input, it sets the value of a parameter in a different plugin
to a given value, and when a corresponding NOTE OFF is received,
it sets the value back to something else.
I see two avenues here:
a) CV ports and signals
b) LV2 atom Patch set messages
With a) your plugin would have a CV ouput, whose signal depends on some
input (audio, MIDI or CV), and is connected to a CV control input port
of another plugin. Of course that means you can only control parameters,
for which the receiving plugin has CV inputs.
For the MIDI -> CV conversion you might not actually need to write your
own plugin. There are some MIDI-to-CV LV2 plugins in existence already.
See this list [1] for a selection ([2] might contain what you need).
b) Relies on the host actually forwarding atom messages between plugins.
I'm not sure how many and whoch ones do that, but I believe at least
Ingen and synthpod do.
You might be able to do the MIDI to atom message conversion with
Moony.lv2 [3].
