The easiest way is to use an external Carla.
MIDIController > Carla with filtering plugins > Qtractor MidiBusInput.
If you only want to use Qtractor, you'll need to create the following buses InFilterMIDI, OutFilterMIDI:
1) InFilterMIDI: Must be created in Input mode. It houses the filtering plugins and an auxiliary MIDI send to OutFilterMIDI.
2) OutFilterMIDI: Must be created in Output mode. You connect this from the connections window to the Master MIDI input bus, or the bus you have assigned as a MIDI input for the track.
The configuration is then:
MIDIController > InFilterMidi [Filters] [Auxiliary Send to OutFilterMIDI]
OutFilterMIDI > In Master MIDI.
Hi Rui, I don't know how complex it would be to develop. But I think it would be logical for the MIDI signal to first go through the plugin chain on the input MIDI buses before reaching the sequencer.
This is how it happens in audio, and it's really useful for recording already processed signals. It shouldn't be any different in MIDI.
In fact, as it stands, the plugin chain on the input buses serves no purpose unless the signal is redirected, as I explained to Thomas.
I've been able to answer the question because I needed a virtual keyboard for a student (who doesn't have a MIDI controller) in a plugin (since Qtractor doesn't have one), and I managed to get it working this way. But the logical thing would have been to insert the virtual keyboard into the input bus and have everything work correctly.
Having the MIDI signal go through the plugin chain before reaching the sequencer would be a great help, and it would make sense for the input buses to have a plugin chain.
