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.
