Hi Paul,

*grin*, I think the misconception is that VST supports natural ranges.  The
reality is, it doesn't.

It's a perfect example of putting a 'nice to have' feature in a standard,
then having no one support it.

I think everyone who proposes a feature for GMPI should be forced to use
that feature in their own product.......  Don't worry, I'm only (half)
joking.

Best Regards,
Jeff
