Bug Summary

When using Element via VeSTige, the time information was not sent correctly.
Time information that progresses regardless of the playback status is displayed on the Element.
The code that controls this time progression is located here.

It is unclear whether this issue is specific to me, whether it is unique to Element, or whether LMMS has a feature to send correct time information to VSTs.

I forked the project and managed to send time information to the VST only during playback,
but it appears that the time information in syncData is only updated during playback.
I need to synchronize m_currentSamplePos with BAR and BEAT when playback is paused, but I couldn’t figure out how to do that.

Expected Behaviour

Just like in Cakewalk Sonar, the cursor on the DAW timeline syncs with the time information within the VST plugin. When you enable EXT in Element, the correct time is displayed, just like the BAR and BEAT indicators shown in the LMMS UI.

Steps To Reproduce

Launch Element via VeSTige

• I have searched all existing issues and confirmed that this is not a duplicate.

Start in plugins/VstBase/RemoteVstPlugin.cpp around line 1123 and reproduce the issue by launching Element through VeSTige. Compare the linked commit with how syncData and m_currentSamplePos are updated during paused playback. Done means the VST receives time information that matches LMMS's BAR and BEAT position while playback is paused.
