Simple, obvious, example: in Cubase VST, the "graph" (really just the audio engine and a MIDI front-end) is running even when the transport is stopped. It's easy to envisage a Reaktor-style environment where there may be several different transport masters existing within a single synchronous signal flow graph. > In my centralized view, this could only happen if the host provides an > interface for a plug to control the transport. Plug-ins can advertise their ability to be transport masters, and their requirement for receiving transport information. It's up to the host to do what it likes with that.
