Does this mean that to record a performance, a sequencer must not only record parameter changes, but changes to parameter meta-data? e.g. Parameter X exists only for the chorus, then is deleted, later on it re-appears, but with a different data type? ...and the host transport is able to jump to any point in the performance? When the transport is stopped, what UI does the plugin have?, the one from the chorus, or the one from the verse? This is sounding more and more flaky to me. I'm starting to think that if a plugin changes it's interface, it's got to be treated like a new plugin.
