Small problem is, AMS uses VC (even the output of the VCOs that

audio ports (full sample rate), but the signals carried
on them are normally not meant to be audio. How they are

3. Input ports corresponding to GUI widgets. These are control rate,

And I think part of the confusion is that LV2 calls #3 a "control port",
and doesn't currently have anything like #2.

If your the same dude I met on IRC doing this exact same thing... you
misunderstood what was said about 16. I was saying that[1] I've heard
that sometimes people implement CV ports at 1/16th the audio sample
rate. However it's simpler to just stick with the audio sample rate.
Also, in old-style analog synths the CV signal correspends to 1
Volt/octave and has a range (0.0, +inf).[2] In contrast, floating point
audio has a range of [-1.0, 1.0]. There is no relationship between a
control voltage signal (e.g. the position of a fader) and a PCM audio
signal.
