It's not about the behavior, it's about effectively repurposing existing

would want to write one cross-platform module (rembember that?<g>) that

talk only MIDI, working in gear, then it could get a host version a lot
easier.



There is no such thing as a free lunch. If you're porting a hardware ROM into VST, do you not add VST parameters and automation support?



No, you don't. VST doesn't support sample accurate automation in most hosts and MIDI automation is "good enough" for most purpose.

GMPI is the same.


I hope it will be better :).
