I do not intend to tackle the GUI issue here, just the plugin interface. Without the interface, where comes the GUI? As I said, array is a flexible data structure to naturally represent multidimensional data. So far LADSPA only allows the passing of zero-dimensional, single-valued parameter, which is exactly my intent why we need an extension.
by the way, the idea behind this array extension is not new, is very simple, and is straightforward. imagine programming in a language that only allows single-value variables (no arrays, no pairs, no lists). liulk
