I know you said to wait, but then you asked a question :)

Of course you can change the tempo as often as the host allows. But the plugin chooses a rate at which it wants the meter updated, and can only interpret tempo changes quantized to that rate. So the host will do the integration necessary to determine the time of the next beat, and give that duration to the plugin. As far as the plugin sees, the tempo is constant across that interval.

same time we send the beat to the plugin, then the plugin will be aware of the tempo in force for the duration of the beat.


Who says there is a tempo in effect for the duration of a beat?  Can I not
change temp halfway through a beat?
