Send midi data over a network from inside a host

Question

How could I send MIDI data received be a VST from inside a Host application (Cubase, for example) over LAN to another computer in the network?

Answer 1

The VST plugin framework does not include an inbuilt solution to send MIDI from one plugin to another. It also goes against the assumption of what VST plugins do. Generally VST plugins only communicate with the host application. It is assumed they will not communicate with other plugins or applications.

That being said you could use OSC (Open Sound Control) and whatever TCP/IP networking library you are comfortable with.

Answer 2

not c++ but java - it is the closest thing i know of though: oscvstbridge
