That is more of a modular synthesis approach. I dont think you will get
many general hosts to support it, as it adds complexity from the users
p.o.v.
It is ofcourse easy in a modular system, your plugin just acts as a clock
generator.
There are many modular aynths for Linux which use plugins (LADSPA) as
thier main module format, so as long as we dont rule it out in the plugin
API it should not be a problem.
