Hi Ron, I posted that before i realised that proxy plugins don't require raw MIDI in the graph. Same as if I wrote a proxy for an external DSP box connected by Firewire (e.g. Powercore). The Plugin to External box communication is private. You can proxy external DSP on a PCI card, via Firewire, via LAN, via a hardware MIDI port, yet none of these need direct support from GMPI, none of the communication is via the GMPI graph. A proxy is like a wrapper plugin, we don't care what's inside.
