Big assumption, In situations where the number of GMPI plugins exceeds the number of MIDI plugins, then the efficiency equation is turned back-to-front. (you're creating/transporting MIDI bytes that are ignored). But seriously, lets not prematurely optimise code we haven't written yet. If the MIDI bytes are needed, fine, but it's not an efficiency question. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Generalized Music Plugin Interface (GMPI) public discussion list Participation in this list is contingent upon your abiding by the following rules: Please stay on topic.
