This is what AMS, SSM, gAlan, PD etc let you do right now - MIDI is converted to a 'voltage' signal (by various means) and then routed to plugins in the graph. Ditto JACK - you can connect a JACK port to anything you like in these apps. I don't think this kind of I/O is best implemented internally as a plugin either (definitely not if plugin == LADSPA). It's better if it's provided by the host as a bus or other metaphor. - Myk ________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
