effect vs. instrument

[iioflow]

what about making mlrVST show up as a VST instrument, rather than a VST effect? right now, it only appears in the "Track DSPs" section of renoise, which means mlrVST is saying to the host that it's an effect, not an instrument in its own right. this makes routing complicated, since renoise and other hosts i've tried route audio and effects differently depending on whether you're trying to play a VST instrument, or run audio through a VST effect.

Interesting, I wasn't aware of the distinction. I suspect it is because it needs to be able to send and receive audio (for input recording etc) whereas VST instruments only produce (send) sound. I'll have a look at some point though.
