VST interacting with Reaper midi events

[gkurtenbach]

I've written a VST that displays input audio waveform and input midi events overlapped. I record a combination of midi-drums played live with real cymbals so the display is really nice to see the audio and midi of drums as a whole.

What would be really nice would be able to point to a midi event and move it (and have Reaper update the corresponding midi event).

So is there a way in Reaper's API to modify a midi events time? And if so is there any way to access that from the VST? I know nothing about ARA but is that the kind of thing it allows?

Any pointer to help me down this road, or keep me from going down it if it's not possible would be appreciated!

cheers,
Gord

Yes there are API functions to modify MIDI events (e.g. MIDI_SetNote, SetAllEvts) and it's also possible for VSTs to acces the Reaper API, e.g. here (though probably outdated) and ReaLearn also uses it I'd think.

AFAIK, only a single VST that accesses the Reaper API exists: MidiToReaControlPath.

But this does work perfectly
