with my hand on beta, I can say that it doesn't seem to be fixed, unfortunately.

I can confirm that program change is not working for VST3s. Quite annoying for live performances

Apparently, we are in a dead end corner of users still using this, amongst 99.99% no more using this.

One of the features of VST3 I like and actually need is its ability to pop out midi messages.

Actually, it is just a requirements for anyone using Reaktor, for instance.

I trust them for finding the best way.
But I'd be happy to read them here.

We had a meeting for certified trainers recently but I didn't mention it.
I should have done.

Now it shows both names (separated by pipe "|") if you have a Drum Rack(s) and a dummy MIDI FX Rack(s) with "Show Names in Editor" enabled in a Instrument Rack, but legibility is not good and it runs out of space with longer names (or more added racks). This is a (nice) workarou...

Is this due to the rather "peculiar" way the early vst3 spec was done by steinberg (and ableton haven't updated yet to the newest, which AFAIK does support program change) or is this a clear bug in the implementation? Either way, for someone for whom this is a blocking issue, it probably ...

Basically, this miss is very annoying. I used to use the rack technique for using less tracks. During my live performance, during that song, I play that clip switching that chain selector and firing notes to the right instrument in the right chains. Good. Then, if I wanted to fire a clip in the same...

Yeah. An huge design "mistake" as the fact that only MIDI Channel 1 is flowing (no MIDI Channel 2-16)

I don't really agree with the one you mention.
At least, the paradigm they chose (one track, one midi channel) is not really blocking, in my opinion, and more than 15 years of use.

There is something I always missed : Manual switching piano roll mode. The automatic switching is smart. But in many cases, it is not enough. I know those workarounds... I know the dummy drumrack with ALL pad named with PITCH etc. We teach these too... No. I'd like to have a switch in the clip. Rece...

Here is a video in which I just fire plain program change message from a max for live device to an ensemble running in Reaktor AUv2 version (working as expected) and Reaktor VST3 version (doesn’t work) : https://youtu.be/NnMLli9Bl_8 I’d need VST3 as I need midi outputs from the plugin, which is not ...

omg. just figuring this thread out.
I posted this : viewtopic.php?t=247288

as I even thought it was a bug (it is at least a design bug!)

More informations:
- the same VST3 loaded into another DAW receives program changes correctly (and behaves as it should)
- the same VST3 loaded a [vst~] object in Max 8 can receive program changes correctly (and behaves as it should) too

Did someone noticed that ?
