exactly. qtractor has no means to host midi_fx plugins. even though a

vst and theoretically lv2 plugins may provide midi out ports, qtractor

won't recognize it and sure all midi output data will be thrown to

/dev/null ;)

there was once this idiocy of mine which hinted you could drive a midi

audio_fx plugin by inserting it into a midi track (eg. a midi controlled

vocoder plugin) and preceding it by an audio insert.
that way you could have the plugin control data in the midi track (ie.

poor man's automation:). what could never work was that the audio input

signal, which you feed to the aforementioned audio insert returns,

couldn't ever be taken from one of qtractor's audio output buses.
because it just doesn't work, you just get silence instead. but it could

work iif the audio signal is piped in from anything alse but qtractor...
cheers
