JackAss
=======

JACK-MIDI support for VST hosts, including Wine apps
<p>
JackAss is a VST plugin that provides JACK-MIDI support for VST hosts.<br/>
Simply load the plugin in your favourite host to get a JACK-MIDI port.<br/>
Each new plugin instance creates a new MIDI port.<br/>
</p>
<p>
<b>Here's JackAss loaded in FL Studio:</b><br/><br/>

<br/>
<b>And an example setup in Carla for it:</b><br/><br/>

</p>
<p>
JackAss sends the notes from the host to its JACK-MIDI port.<br/>
It also exposes 50 parameters, which send a MIDI CC message when changed.<br/>
You can use this to easily control external applications that accept JACK-MIDI input and possibly CC for automation (like Carla).<br/>
</p>
<p>
Additionally there's a JackAssFX plugin, which only exposes parameters to send as MIDI CC, in case you don't need MIDI/notes.<br/>
</p>
<p>
JackAss currently has builds for Linux, MacOS and Windows, all 32bit and 64bit. Just follow
<a href="https://github.com/falkTX/JackAss/tree/master/release" class="external free" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this link</a>.<br/>
As a bonus, you also get special Wine builds - load it in a Windows application running in Linux via Wine and you get a real, native JACK-MIDI port from it!<br/>
</p>
<p>
PS: Why JackAss? Because it outputs to JACK. ;)
