Option to connect to virtual midi ports? #69

Hi, thanks for the great software!

I'm using mod-host on PC and trying to make it work with Launchkey Mini mk3 midi-controller. Overall it works fine, but this controller doesn't provide an option to reconfigure the pads to send CC messages with toggle behavior. Thus I can't assign the pads to toggle plugin buttons. I've found a software (https://github.com/aolsenjazz/super-controller) that allows to remap keys by creating a new virtual midi port and sending patched midi commands there. However, it turned out that these virtual ports aren't available in mod-host, as only physical ports are added.

So my question is: is it possible to also add virtual ports to mod-host? Are there any restrictions aside from keeping UI simple?

Found out that I can wire the virtual midi port to MIDI-through port and it worked more or less as I wanted. Though I'm not sure why: which ports are listened to on midi-learn?

One thing that would make it even better for me is to expose midi-through input port, so that it can also be fed into effects. Is it possible?
