Renoise midi , a unique feature?

This seems like a feaure unique to renoise
Lately I’ve been into making sysex editors in loomers architect (awesome modular midi program ) .
When loaded as a plugin in renoise , the midi out connection to my Roland integra is made IN architect (plugin ) only and not via renoise midi output and it works , it communicates directly to the hardware ( usb midi )
Somehow renoise is able to establish a connection .
I tried this in other hosts like reaper and cantabile , and there the connnection has to be from plugin (architect ) to host , and from host to midi out in order for the hardware to receive the sysex data .
Taktik , can you explain how this is possible ?
The roland integra vst 3 editor also does this , but there it communicates with the integra driver and that works in all program s

O.K so what it actually does is this .
Renoise allows vst’s to acces the midi (out ) bus directly (if the vst is acapable of that ), but then renoise doesn’t have acces to the busses anymore .
Reaso why it didn’t work in other hosts , is that the midi bus is assigned to the host ( in preferences ) , once unassigned they behave like renoise does .

Interesting tip though, thanks.
