I have both Fruityloops and Propellerheads Reason software synths on my Windows PC.

Any way I can get at and script these from either Visual Basic or Python? Or at least send Midi messages to the synths from code?

Update : attempts to use something like a "midi-mapper" (thanks for link MusiGenesis) don't seem to work. I don't think Reason or FL Studio act like standard GM Midi synths.

Update 2 : If you're interested in this question, check out this too.

Note: This answer doesn't exactly answer the question you asked but it might achieve the result you want :)

You can author a VST plugin in Java using jVSTWrapper (http://jvstwrapper.sourceforge.net/). If you really wanted to use Python you could use Jython to interface to java and do it that way. Alternatively you could just write the plugin in Java or another scripting language for the JVM like Groovy.
