Hello,

I have a MIDI programming question.

I have searched quite a bit and saw a wish list that includes what I am looking for but did not see info showing that it is possible. I apologize if I missed something and this question is redundant.

I am using an external scripting language to send MIDI event messages to Reaper using MIDI OX/YOKE as the link between the two. In the scripting language I create the MIDI OX scripting object (MIDIOX.MOXScript) and use its functions to send note on/off messages to Reaper (basically using Reaper as a VST host). It works.

My question is do I need MIDI OX/Yoke? Does Reaper have externally accessible API functionality - meaning could I send MIDI event messages by calling Reapers API via code without an intermediary app like MIDI OX/Yoke?

If this is possible and you could include some example code (e.g. VBScript, etc) that would be helpful.

Thank you very much to anyone that can help.
