MIDI routing inside Blue Cat's PatchWork
In order to connect the output of a MIDI effect (arpegiator, step sequencer etc...) to the input of a virtual instrument inside our plug-in, you simply need to use the internal MIDI ports (port A to port P):
For example, connect the input of the MIDI effect to the host (by defaut), its output to port A, and the input of the instrument to port A (disconnect the "Host port"), and they will be connected: your incoming MIDI events will go thru the MIDI effect before reaching the synth.

(In case you are wondering, all these options are available in the plug-in menu). More details can be found in the manual.

Multi effect/instrument routing example:


MIDI routing outside Blue Cat's PatchWork
If you just want to use the MIDI effect inside PatchWork and route its output to another VI inside Pro Tools (in AAX format), just route the output of the MIDI effect to the "Host" port. Then you need an extra MIDI track to perform the routing from the PatchWork plug-in that hosts your MIDI effect to the AAX VI, as shown in this tutorial.

It's a bit short, but I hope it helps!

- insert the arpeggiator plug-in on first PRE slot
- setup MIDI output to 'Host' (all channels)
- add your own AAX synth plug-in on the same instrument track (Synth 2)
- add MIDI track
- setup MIDI track input to first Patchwork Synth, output to your synth
- arm both tracks for recording (instrument and MIDI)

Tested here with the same arpegiator and another synth plug-in (inside patchwork AAX or even a third party AAX synth) and it works very well...

The missing step is you still have to have the input on the MIDI track you want to play be set to the Patchwork Input and the Output goes to your VI.

The instructions just provided word fine for playing live...but if you want to have Cream applied to already existing MIDI part, you still need 2 midi tracks PLUS the instrument track. So here's the step by step:

To play live - do as suggested here:

- create instrument track
- add PatchWork synth plug-in (Synth 1)
- insert the arpeggiator plug-in on first PRE slot
- setup MIDI output to 'Host' (all channels)
- add your own AAX synth plug-in on the same instrument track (Synth 2)
- add MIDI track
- setup MIDI track input to first Patchwork Synth, output to your synth
- arm both tracks for recording (instrument and MIDI)

BUT, if you want to play back a MIDI track already recorded you need to modify the steps thusly:

A simpler setup for your use case (which seems to work better) would be the following (you may need to restart with a blank project from scratch):
- create instrument track
- add PatchWork synth plug-in (Synth 1)
- insert the arpeggiator plug-in on first PRE slot
- setup MIDI output to 'Host' (all channels)
- add your own AAX synth plug-in on the same instrument track (Synth 2)
- add 2 MIDI tracks
- set up 1st MIDI track OUTPUT to first Patchwork Synth (Cream in this case). PUT THE MIDI DATA YOU WANT TO PLAY ON THIS TRACK!
- setup 2nd MIDI track input to first Patchwork Synth (which comes from Cream), output of that track to the VI you want to play (and is sitting on the same instrument track as Patchwork hosting Cream)
- record arm ONLY the 2nd MIDI track (no need to arm the others).

Hit play and whatever arp you've got going on in Cream will now play your VI hosted on your instrument track. I just did this using Xpand as the test. This means that you can use Cream to create all sorts of nifty arps and patterns and come up with amazing basslines, chord patterns, arps, etc. And, you can apply arp sequences to other MIDI parameters as well, like the filter cutoff, or resonance or both... this just got really interesting! Its going to take a while to learn all that Cream can do...but from what I've seen so far...its pretty versatile.
Big thanks to DonaldM, Blue Cat Audio and Ben Jenssen!

Sorry, I can’t speak Norwegian – but it’s nice to know you thought I can!

I edit my English to try and keep it simple, before using “multiple bounces” of Google Translate.

English to Norwegian, then Norwegian back to English – this immediately shows where the languages obviously “collide” and need rephrasing – so I’ll rewrite the English – then English to Norwegian again - then Norwegian back to English again, to check.

This appears to be enough to get it similar in both languages.

Ah, that's pretty clever.
And I must say, pretty convincing.
And a bit scary...
