i think you're misinterpreting how we were using the term
"native". what we meant was that any GMPI plugin (just like any VST
plugin right now) that happens to use DSP h/w on an add-on card or
similar still presents a 100% GMPI (or 100%) interface to the
host. the host deals only with GMPI (or VST) - it does *not* know
anything about the internals of the plugin and how it works. the
plugin might beam samples off to the moon via an ultrasound uplink for
all the host could care :)
the term "native" here was (mis)leadingly used to mean "GMPI native"
or "VST native", not "x86 native" or "powercore native" or "SHARC
native".
