my understanding of events is that they are processed synchronously
with audio processing. that doesn't work for a GUI that wants to show
the user a rolling "flow" through a value range. or at the very least,
it doesn't work very well at all.

i think that you can't to do this with events, it has to be done with
explicit, synchronous callbacks into the plugin. also, i think this is
a massively better design than even the AU model - trying to enumerate
all the possibilities for parameters is a battle nobody can win.
