The host can do many things but it doesn't know about a particular UI
and so can't decide when to start or not to start this particular event
capture unless the plugin code explicitely asks for it. Steve's proposal
suits my need and I think that provision should explicitely be made in
the specs for this use case. Then the "only GMPI events" solution suits
me as long as smart params value are used (floating points midi note
numbers in order to have a fast mapping...).
Thanks, going back to lurk mode :).

Hi all,
I've been following the MIDI vs No Midi argument (should I say flame
I understand the points that have been made so far and I wouldThis is exactly the kind of thing its designed to support. The difference
personally think the "Control Parameters defined as a superset of MIDI"
would be the best solution.
However I need a clarification from the brains on this list about the
way one the the very basic features of most morden plugins can work:
Our users want to be able to easily link their control surface elements
to our plugins parameters. What most plugins out there do is let the
user select the corresponding knob (right click + menu, or double click
like reason, whatever...) and link the NEXT incomming midi message as
the source of events for this params. I feel this kind of flexibility is
is that the host would do the MIDI->GMPI mapping, not the plugin.
it's also already done in Cubae for exemple, when the host can map a MIDI controler (or whatever) to a parameters of the even VST 1.0 plug-in format. In a similar way, this can be also done in the GMPI architecture, by presenting a Parameters Port. with a public protocole that the host can understand, interpret and use. But this does not forbid to the plug-in to present a MIDI port if wanted... That's why i don't understand the actual battle around MIDI or NOT MIDI.
