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.
Google virtual midi cable. There's a few products along this line. Essentially they create a software midi in and out port. They take the form of a driver. You install them once and then you can read and write to them in software and your daw can input and output to them. They appear as any other standard midi device.
