That's one idea... or for doing polyrhythmic music with sequence
generators running somewhat independent of each other?

Plugins can reside in as many "(musical) time contexts" as they provide
"(musical) time context event ports". Any one event port may only exist in
a single time context. However, most plugins will provide only one such
"port".
An example of a plugin that might need to be able to talk to multiple
contexts (even though it will most likely not use information from any of
them) would be a mixer object to which two plugin subgraphs running in
different musical time contexts are wired.
