Cantabile MIDI Handling
I'm currently trying to address the confusing handling of MIDI in Cantabile and have decided to make the following changes (which I'll probably release in the next build).
- Firstly, the default behaviour of routing all output events to all enabled output ports will be removed.
- A new option will be added to set the default MIDI output device which will be used as the default output port for MIDI coming from Cantabile's racks.
- A second new option will be added to allow pass-through of unhandled incoming events to a single selectable MIDI output port.
- At the moment, an empty rack doesn't accept MIDI input if it's muted or doesn't have any VST's loaded - causing it to be routed to output. This will be changed to accept but discard events, so as to not cause different routing of events when empty or muted.
For the common situation of just routing MIDI in to plugins, the behaviour will remain the same. For more complex setups, the behaviour will be different but more predictable. It should also let Cantabile be used as a simple MIDI patch bay, with the added bonus of MIDI filters.
