>As David points out, the right answer is > probably a worker thread or some such. Yep, I can live with that. As you point out, I can choose to ignore the ramp, just use the final value (or use an int). >you must send a ramp event each buffer, but they all refer to the same ramp. I can understand why they did that (so plugins don't need to keep track of ramps, long-term), but it kind of bugs me, the host sending the same ramp over and over. Seems inefficient?
