SysEx from a VST

[mschnell]

I have a Rise 49 which comes wirth a full version of the Roli "Equator" synth.

Equator can be run as well as a stand alone executable as as a VST (it's a VST 2 ! ) in Reaper.

When changing a patch, the standalone Equator sends out (at least one) Midi SysEx message to set performance parameters in the Rise.

I analyzed these messages and am able to successfully do the Rise online configuration with my JSFX plugins (see appropriate thread in the "Live" forum) .

Now astonishingly the Equator VST does not seem to send these messages, at least I don't see them on the Rise and in the ReaControlMidi log (with SysEx enabled). I asked the Roli support and they claim that the VST should send the messages, but Reaper somehow would block them.

While I doubt that they are right: Does anybody see a chance that Reaper might block SysExes from VSTs (while it certainly allows them from a JSFX) ?
