[feature request] support MIDI RPN/NRPN messages, not only CC #432

Open chaocrator opened 8 years ago

pls consider adding of MIDI RPN/NRPN messages. currently only CC messages can be assigned via plugin parameters dialog.

some softsynths (e.g. synthv1 or triceratops) have more MIDI controllable parameters than can be assigned to CC#'s (i mean more or less proper way, without reassigning those standard CC's that are very undesirable to touch). so, running out of CC's becomes a problem when making a template for a DAW or a hardware MIDI controller for such plugin. supporting RPN/NRPN messages could resolve it in a proper way.

You can use 16 different channels. But yes, nrpn would be nice. I never coded for that though. Will need some investigation.

thanks. yes, i can use more than one channel per plugin (currently i'm experimenting with this as a workaround), but that's a kludge, and it makes hardware controller templates MUCH harder to maintain.

standalone version of synthv1 supports different types of MIDI messages, if this can help.
