That's not right either.  The events are timestamped, just like every event.
The difference is this:  once the timestamp comes due: is the plugin
expected to set the parameter value right away (possibly a fast declick, or
something) or is the plugin expected to ramp the parameter over a time
period?

How about 'immediate events' for the term?  Or just a 'SET' event as opposed
to a RAMP event?  That was how designated them in XAP discussions.
