Summary0003578: Automagically fake audio inputs to access more VSTis
DescriptionA3 currently can't use more advanced VSTi synths that require audio inputs to work such as the GPL TAL Noisemaker:

http://kunz.corrupt.ch/?Products:VST_TAL-NoiseMaker

Until A3 can support audio input to VSTs properly it would be good to have some fake audio input support to access more plugins if it can be implemented easily enough and without too many casualties.

You can now add audio ports to the input of MIDI tracks, so it should be possible to set tracks up to accept these plugins. Not sure of the best way to do this automagically.

Very promising sounding tweak indeed there Carlos - must set my cluster of 386s compiling now!

Odd! I never remember putting 'Automagically' in the subject/ feature name line although that feature would be nice. Just saw it now but I was ill when I wrote this so that may explain it.

This seems to work now, at least for LinuxVSTs
