There are many plugin synth which doesn't answer to Midi CC ...

there's something in the plans, like introducing a plugin-chain
separator as a movable pseudo-plugin insert, representing the fader
controls (volume/pan) allowing for pre-fader plugin inserts (the current
standing) as well as post-fader plugin-inserts.

it is on this pseudo-plugin separator that a new control might be
introduced, specially for MIDI tracks, where one may select which type
of fader control and meter display are shown, MIDI or audio.

I created a lv2 plugin that does volume and panning using MIDI CC:

https://github.com/ycollet/vopa

There are 2 versions: one mono version which does volume only and the stereo version which does volume and panning.

Tested with NoiseMaker and master version of qtractor ...

indeed, in qtractor, MIDI tracks are the equivalent of instrument tracks on other DAWs.

the audio output is chained and rendered through an audio output bus of your choice (default is Master); the audio volume/pan controls are therefore situated on the output bus and not on the MIDI track; MIDI track volume/pan controls do indeed send channel MIDI CC#7 and CC#10 respectively and its the responsibility of the MIDI plugin(s) there inserted whether recognize and/or implement the way it should according to the GM standard.

having a brand new instrument track type is just redundant and thus overruled. sorry.

OK, with a volume plugin and a panning plugin which react to MIDI CC ...
I will try to find such plugins.

Do you have some reference about volume and pan plugins compatible with MIDI CC ?

i'm pretty sure the vee-one-suite do :)

yoshimi and probably zynaddsubfx do as well.

all fluidsynth based plugins should (but not sure).

iow, any plugin that complies to the GM standard.

I was just asking for amplifier plugin a panoramic plugin.
I wanted to add these plugins with a plugin which doesn't support MIDI CC so as to be able to control the volume and the pan of this plugin via and amp and pan plugin.

this is exactly what is need
