Controlling host tempo from Cabbage

Stefano posted a question yesterday about using Cabbage to control the tempo of a host. Unfortunately the message was lost when we upgraded our servers. So I’ll provide the same answer now as I did yesterday. I don’t think it is currently possible to do this using the VST SDK. The only solution I can think of is if your host allows the main BPM to be set using OSC. Otherwise I’m not sure how you might do it.

I did this little csd to create a OSC transmitter so I could link all my bpm related stuff. It should allow to set the value by writing the number, rotary encoder, tap tempo on gui button, tap tempo by midi message and receiving from host.
Hope it works and it’s useful.
