Combining these concepts brings up a feature that I have been requesting for years: Wouldn't it be possible to store the entire state of a plugin, ( i/o buffers, internal buffers, and controls ) so that you can begin playback at this point with sample accuracy? It's always a pain to start your song 2 measures earlier than needed so the sustained pads, reverbs and delays can get buffered and running. This has always been a problem with MIDI setups that could be solved in a pure software system. I brought this up on the XAP list, so now I get to move it into GMPI :) -Ben ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Generalized Music Plugin Interface (GMPI) public discussion list Participation in this list is contingent upon your abiding by the following rules: Please stay on topic.
