Hi Rob I don't know if this might help: https://forums.acoustica.com/viewtopic.php?p=150758#p150758 My purpose was to link a MIDI-generating VST to a MIDI output port for hardware control, but using Kushview might provide the internal linking you are looking for. Costs nothing but your time to check...

Please see a solution to this issue, using ReaControl VST inside Kushview Element VST, here:

No, not your fault. I was really pushing for Acoustica to do something about it natively, not to spend time looking for a workaround.

But there is so much to like in Mixcraft, it is worth going to the trouble of the workaround for this one thing.

It's a tough burden I have to bear - always being right! (Just kidding) :lol: :lol: Actually I was put off by your comment about how unintuitive it was, and got the principle working first with this https://www.ddmf.eu/metaplugin-chainer-vst-au-rtas-aax-wrapper/ Then thought I should try some other...

AND.... I'm back I looked at a few other DAWs, including Reaper, and didn't find anything that gelled with me and which also included the the nice integration between linear and clip-based sequencing of the most recent MX versions. So I thought I would have a look at workarounds for ReaControl and l...

Had a play tonight and, like Cactus Head, I cant get ReaControl to make any patch/bank changes. I’m sad to say that I have waited long enough and, rather than upgrading, will move to DAW that is capable of sending program/bank changes from a list of named patches/banks - which is many of them (Cakew...

Not clear from your comment whether that is using a new MX10 capability, but it sounds promising, Greg. I'll give it a try.

OK thanks Greg. I'll try the demo at some point, unless someone else gets there first and reports back

Note updated title. I would love to go with MX10. Can Acoustica clarify? The 'what's new?' info includes: Pro Studio provides new and advanced MIDI and audio options that enable you to route the output of a plug-in to use with others. Now you can easily route and record the output, for instance, of ...

Cactus-head, thank you for testing at your end and your analytical approach. I didn't find any more success with 32 or 64-bit. I am wondering if the .Ins files themselves play a role. Many are likely to have been made by individual users rather than programmers, so may have some inherent errors. If ...

Slight qualification to ‘solved’. Selector may not be fully reliable - under investigation. More details on the above link.

All is not completely rosy. Mixcraft crashed twice when I was loading biggish .ins files into Selector, and I have read elsewhere that Selector is ‘buggy’ (single report). So I will proceed with care and see which files or file sizes cause an issue. Unfortunately the developer (or the home website) ...

OK, time to report this as 'SOLVED' because forum user Cactus-head kindly tracked down and shared a viable and free alternative to ReaControl, called 'Selector'. Seems to work because Selector is a VST Instrument, unlike Reacontrol, which is a VST Effect. The former plays nicely with Mixcraft for MI...

What can I say but - well done Cactus-head :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Mixcraft-Selector-AkaiSG01v-1.png So the main point is to be able to select patches from a drop-down list - here it is. Mixcraft-Selector-AkaiSG01v-Patch.png Mixcraft-Selector-AkaiSG01v-CC.png The CCs are useful too - if they a...

First line of ‘how to use’ on the first link you provided:
“Load Selector VST into your DAW as an instrument plugin.”

Maybe that’s the key.

The ability to read and setup CCs also looks very interesting - lots of possible uses for that.
