Detailed Description

MIDI Mapping Interface.

• [plug imp]
• [extends IEditController]
• [released: 3.0.1]
• [optional]

MIDI controllers are not transmitted directly to a VST component. MIDI as hardware protocol has restrictions that can be avoided in software. Controller data in particular come along with unclear and often ignored semantics. On top of this they can interfere with regular parameter automation and the host is unaware of what happens in the Plug-in when passing MIDI controllers directly.

So any functionality that is to be controlled by MIDI controllers must be exported as regular parameter. The host will transform incoming MIDI controller data using this interface and transmit them as normal parameter change. This allows the host to automate them in the same way as other parameters. CtrlNumber could be typical MIDI controller value extended to some others values like pitch bend or after touch (see ControllerNumbers). If the mapping has changed, the Plug-in should call IComponentHandler::restartComponent (kMidiCCAssignmentChanged) to inform the host about this change.

virtual tresult getMidiControllerAssignment ( int32  busIndex, int16  channel, CtrlNumber  midiControllerNumber, ParamID &  id  )

pure virtual

Gets an (preferred) associated ParamID for a given Input Event Bus index, channel and MIDI Controller.

Parameters

[in]	busIndex	- index of Input Event Bus
[in]	channel	- channel of the bus
[in]	midiControllerNumber	- see ControllerNumbers for expected values (could be bigger than 127)
[in]	id	- return the associated ParamID to the given midiControllerNumber
