Hi,

I'm developping an application in c# with, among others features, capability to host VSTis. The problem is this :
- Bass is perfectly initialized
- the VSTi is perfectly loaded
- the embedded editor is perfectly available and displays correctly
- the execution of BassVst.BASS_VST_ProcessEventRaw(Instance, new IntPtr(100 + 60 << 8 + 144 << 16), 0) returns 'true' - I send a middle C with a velocity of 100, for testing.

but...

...the VST doesn't visibly receive anything and doesn't produces any sound.

Have anybody an advice about my problem ?

I thank you very much for your attention, and much more for your answer.

Hi,

I solved the problem myself !

I got the idea to insert a Bass_ChannelPlay command just after the creation of the stream, and... it's working fine ! 
So, there is a mistake in the documentation of Bass.NET about the MIDI plugin, where we find that the ChannelPlay command is unusefull. Nevertheless, the Process command did'nt return Error !  Could it be a bug ?

Hope this will help somebody.

Regards

Can you point me to the location of the mistake in the documentation?! So that I might correct it.
What do your mean by 'MIDI plugin' - as you are using the VST add-on?

Hi,

Sorry for my late answer !

I effectively use the bass_vst.dll. That is what I saw in the "chm help" of Bass.Net (I work with Visual C# Express 2010, on the Framework 3.5) :

using Un4seen.Bass.AddOn.Vst;
using Un4seen.Bass.AddOn.Midi;

int vstHandle = BassVst.BASS_VST_ChannelCreate(44100, 2, "yourVSTi.dll", BASSFlag.BASS_DEFAULT);
BassVst.BASS_VST_ProcessEvent(vstHandle, 0, BASSMIDIEvent.MIDI_EVENT_NOTE, Utils.MakeWord(60, 100));

...about the BASS_VST_ProcessEvent method
One find the same for the "sysex version" of theBASS_VST_ProcessEventRaw method

Best regards

Maybe there is a misunderstanding:
The "Un4seen.Bass.AddOn.Vst" namespace (and it contained classes) and the "Un4seen.Bass.AddOn.Midi" are unrelated.

The "Un4seen.Bass.AddOn.Vst" namespace provides support for the BASS_VST add-on.
The "Un4seen.Bass.AddOn.Midi" namespace provides support for the BASSMIDI add-on.

So I am still not sure where you found the mistake in the documentation ?!

I perfectly understood that ! So, there is a screen capture of what I'm talking about in the attached GIF - so, taken from Bass.Net.chm file.

So what is wrong with this?

[obiwan77420]

When I strictly reproduce this code, the loaded VSTi doesn't receive any MIDI message, although it loads succesfully - and, for example, the EmbededEditor fully operational. And, I got the idea to insert a BASS_ChannelPlay(vstHandle) line between the creation of the VST channel and the sending of the MIDI event, and, for this moment, the concerned VSTi receive perfectly the "Note on" !
