I agree - I don't really see the point of this categorisation. For instance,
what happens if you want to write a pitch shifter that can be controlled
with a MIDI keyboard? Or write a "monolithic" synth with a vocoder input?
I'm also hoping that audio and note information are just indicative of
available data types. Obviously we'll need control and configuration values
too - and maybe phase vocoder transforms etc... (It remains very important
to me that there is flexibility here.)
How about we change the wording on this paragraph to something along the
lines of:
5. What kinds of plugins do people use today, and what will they want to
use in the future?
Plugins that generate, manipulate or consume sound-related data,
typically
music data (e.g. note and performance information) and audio.

I still think that it makes more sense to just do that sort of matrix
approach where you can have either or both elements for input or output.
Most of my effects are Audio+Music-to-Audio. I'm not sure if that falls
into what you label "Modular Networks", but I certainly haven't ever
thought of them as modular networks, they're just effects that do stuff
with music data, too. Anyway, I don't see much point in constructing
these rigid categories, and I feel like thinking about these are strictly
separate categories has been a downfall for so many music apps, so I'd
really prefer to just have an i/o plugin that handles one or more of any
stream type on input and output and leave it at that.
