Is there some kind of way to make an MTP output play a sound (play an audio clip)?
I have a really neat idea.
The application would need to take the MIDI signal and determine from that to trigger a MIDI clip. MIDI does not have sound, it is just a control signal for sending information to devices that recognize control signals. It is up to the specific application what to do with it from there.

Ok. It’s just that I got the idea from this Stream Deck. You can make custom sounds buttons on it.
Would be neat to browse up and down menus with sounds.
I can hide a sampler somewhere in my FLS project template, have my desired audio clips on it, then channel lock it to a dedicated note output in MTP. That would work.
But for a feature suggestion, would be neat if an output could piggyback the windows sounds; triggering it from there with MIDI messages or something, somehow.
Just like I have custom sword cursors, I also have custom sword sounds.
Would be neat to use custom sounds for menus etc., from anywhere in windows.
I haven’t tried it, however you might just use an incoming MIDI note execute an outgoing action that executes a .wav file of your choice.
If that doesn’t work, I’m sure there are likely sound players out there that you can run with a specific sound file name as a parameter that will play an audio file.

Ya, that’s exactly what I was thinking of doing.
Maybe I can use that MIDI plugin on the Stream Deck to play a sound.
Just thought of that now.
I previously requested a variable manager. I just realized that a note manager would be nice too. It took me forever to find a port, channel and note that I wasn’t using.
Yes, I usually document all of the global variables I use in one place as I define them.
For note numbers, channel numbers etc. I usually create a spreadsheet or have a well defined strategy for that.
Another idea is that if you turn on logging and check Incoming only, when you press.a note, if it is defined as an incoming trigger you will see it. If it doesn’t show up then it is either a MIDI thru activity or not used.

Oh ya. The log is a good idea.
Also when testing the links that I was putting in FLS I would watch the little icon on the hint bar.
If it was orange that address was already taken. If I got a blue (green?) check mark it was free.
But still a button on MTP to “choose free output” and it would select the next one after an existing one.
Would be good for that button to be on channel and also note.
