Have a VST effect (Helix Native) that can have external MIDI control of various parameters. Considering using an older BCF2000 for the control of variable parameters (ex. frequency bands of EQ). Started using this off the bat and I can get MIDI easily input into Samplitude using a couple different control templates. But for this need raw CC data so (if anyone is aware) using BCF mode where you can edit the CC for any control (fader or rotary).

Issue is getting this VST to even accept the MIDI input.

Frustrated with this, have Reaper as a backup DAW and no issue with having this control. Method is to create audio track with VST effect, then a 2nd MIDI track with MIDI controller INPUT, and OUTPUT ('Send' in Reaper) to the audio track. Enable recording on tracks and voila . . . . real time control.

But I can't produce the same scenario in Samplitude. Tried it direct at first with both an audio and VSTi track; no dice. Then tried the dual track method used in Reaper, but challenged in how to get my MIDI track OUTPUT to that audio track. I managed to do it a couple times, but no control, and the other times the same OUTPUT option of the audio track didn't show up in SAmplitude.

Hope I've explained this well enough. Appreciate any/all input on this. Thanks in advance.
