Hi!

I like FSMP a lot, will it support VST3 instruments in the near future?

Hi,
I'm glad you like it but adding VST3 instrument support is very unlikely.
VST3 abstracted low level MIDI protocol away so VST3 is not very suitable for low level instrument plugins that try to emulate real synths ( like Munt VSTi, SC-VA, S-YXG50 ).
Even now you can use VST 3 plugins with the help of VST3 -> VST2 bridge plugins (such as Kushview's Element plugin) but in case of VST3 instrument plugins classic Midi Program change messages almost never work. And without supporting Midi program changes VST3 instruments are practically useless for Midi Player's real time Midi playback.

E.g. you can try such VST instrument plugins that have both VST2 and VST3 versions like ADLPlug
https://github.com/jpcima/ADLplug
You will notice that Midi Program change messages work only with the VST2 version.

What's the best way to record the audio output of an emulator (which I am using MIDIplayer6 as the MIDI OUT) such as Nuked SC-55? (if possible). I obviously have no issues with SC-VA save for the wrong cymbal choke issue in the DOOM MIDIs, and that the SC-55 MAP is not as accurate as the Nuked ROMs.

If you have a soundcard with a working 'Stereo Mix' or 'What you hear' audio loopback recording source then you can use FSMP to record Nuked SC-55's output.
