Appreciated.
I think I'm trying to suggest that there is a way for a plugin to publish a
list of accessor methods that the host ,GUI or other device can call to get
the current value of an internal paramter. In the case of morphing this is
the value value of a parameter between the two morph points. In the case of
randomisation this is the value the DSP has settled on. Note, the accessor
methods should retuen a value but never change any internal parameters
(IMHO).

Call the accessor methods ?

Not sure what you mean by atomically. Presumably though the button would
actually have to send a "patch destination number" (or some such thing).
The host would need to record the patch number before the morph and the
number after to undo to ?

You'd want to record the values before the morph, the request for the morph
and the final values.

Again, call the accessor methods ?
Just thinking out loud at the moment.
