Sending MIDI to Your DAW

Noemi works as a generative MIDI plug-in: its Pattern, Generator, Rhythm, Sequencer and Transformer nodes produce notes, and a MIDI Output node set to "Host (DAW)" streams them back out to the host, where you route them to your DAW's own instruments.

REQUIREMENTS

  1. 1Use the VST3 or CLAP build (not the desktop AU - see "Host (DAW) Output" above).
  2. 2Add a MIDI Output node (Modules > MIDI Output) and connect a MIDI-producing node to it.
  3. 3Set the MIDI Output node's device to "Host (DAW)". The panel should read "Connected".
  4. 4Noemi follows the host transport - press Play in your DAW to start the generative parts.

ABLETON LIVE

  1. 1Put Noemi (VST3) on a MIDI track - the "Noemi track".
  2. 2Create a second MIDI track holding the instrument you want to drive.
  3. 3On that second track, set "MIDI From" to the Noemi track.
  4. 4In the dropdown just below it, select "Noemi" (the plug-in's name) - NOT "Pre FX", "Post FX", or "Track In". Only the plug-in-name entry taps Noemi's MIDI output.
  5. 5Set that track's Monitor to "In".
  6. 6Press Play. Noemi's notes now play the second track's instrument.

REAPER

  • Add a MIDI send from the Noemi track to the destination track (or route the track's MIDI output), and input-monitor / record-arm the destination track so it plays incoming MIDI.

BITWIG / OTHERS

  • Hosts that expose plug-in note output (Bitwig and similar) list Noemi's MIDI output as a note source you can wire to another device or track.

NOTES vs. CC

  • Over VST3, some hosts (notably Ableton Live and Bitwig) pass note-on/note-off but drop MIDI CC and pitch-bend at the VST3-to-host bridge. Noemi's Pattern/Generator send notes, so this is usually not a concern - but MPE/expression data will not arrive over VST3 into Live.

AU WORKAROUND (IAC BUS)

  • If you must use the AU, route the MIDI Output node to a macOS IAC Driver bus (a normal MIDI device, enabled in Audio MIDI Setup > MIDI Studio), then set that IAC bus as the MIDI input of a track in your DAW. This sidesteps the plug-in MIDI-out path that AU hosts don't support.
