[Bug]: The VST3 version of Element drops MIDI notes and introduces latency in Renoise

[Alexander-Zyurkalov]

What happened?

The VST3 version of Element drops MIDI notes and introduces latency in Renoise when routing MIDI directly to external MIDI device in Element.

My hypothesis is that the problem is related to synchronous/blocking MIDI I/O calls inside the high-priority audio thread, which could be resolved by implementing a direct call of an OS MIDI API.

I created this ticket to work on it myself.

I have prepared a pull request for macOS. I will try to fix it for Linux too (though I haven't check whether the problem exists on Linux), but later. On Windows I can't reproduce the problem.
