JackAss

<p> JackAss is a VST plugin that provides JACK-MIDI support for VST hosts.<br/> Simply load the plugin in your favourite host to get a JACK-MIDI port.<br/> Each new plugin instance creates a new MIDI port.<br/> </p> <p> <b>Here's JackAss loaded in FL Studio:</b><br/> <a href="https://kx.studio/screenshots/news/jackass_flstudio.png"><img src="https://kx.studio/screenshots/news/jackass_flstudio_crop.png" alt=""/></a><br/> <br/> <b>And an example setup in Carla for it:</b><br/> <a href="https://kx.studio/screenshots/news/jackass_carla.png"><img src="https://kx.studio/screenshots/news/jackass_carla_crop.png" alt=""/></a><br/> </p> <p> JackAss sends the notes from the host to its JACK-MIDI port.<br/> It also exposes 50 parameters, which send a MIDI CC message when changed.<br/> You can use this to easily control external applications that accept JACK-MIDI input and possibly CC for automation (like Carla).<br/> </p> <p> Additionally there's a JackAssFX plugin, which only exposes parameters to send as MIDI CC, in case you don't need MIDI/notes.<br/> </p> <p> JackAss currently has builds for Linux, MacOS and Windows, all 32bit and 64bit. Just follow <a href="https://github.com/falkTX/JackAss/releases" class="external free" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this link</a>.<br/> As a bonus, you also get special Wine builds - load it in a Windows application running in Linux via Wine and you get a real, native JACK-MIDI port from it!<br/> </p> <p> PS: Why JackAss? Because it outputs to JACK. ;) </p>
