I take it the "native interface" inside the host (to dedicated hw mentioned below) is part of GMPI? on 12/12/03 1:46 AM, Steve Harris at S.W.Harris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx wrote: > 3) WHY?

So if the host only sees a native interface currently, then I don't get the above question since the host is not seeing two different data types. Is the "host" referred to the application (ProTools, Cakewalk, etc.)? Should I assume that all GUI representations of data piped via the "native interface" have conversions from int that are represented consistently across applications? --kT Kord Taylor Wave Distribution 3412 North 22nd Street Tacoma, WA 98406 Cell: 253.224.3807 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
