i don't think it's necessary.
the SET/GET_datas function can be called by one thread only (the GUI one)
while the ProcessFonction is called in CriticalTime Thread.

i don't think it's necessary.
if an other Thread (than the GUI) wants to get or set data , we might
provide another SET/GETfunctions. it's easier to go in this way than to
design something where 5 threads can Get or Set context of the effect in the
same time.
for example
Get/Set for GUI port
Get/Set for meter display port
Get/Set for MIDI port
Get/Set for ETHERNET port
etc...

only the processing function i think.
