Technically, if you wanted your piano roll to make noise as you
moved the mouse over it (to show you which note is which), you
might well want the note to be played through the plugin. But
this wouldn't use any different mechanism that what happens when
you press play in the sequencer.
I personally prefer to just send MIDI messages and not have the
sequencer know about plugins at all. The destination for the MIDI
messages would be a driver or program (via the IPC mechanism of your
choice) that calls the plugin. However, that attitude puts me in
the minority on this list.
Offtopic: I was playing with hardware-based sampling last night
using an AWE64 and homebrew SoundFonts in Windows. This was so much
fun, I'd like to do it on Linux. Anybody have any experiences with
Smurf they'd like to share? (No bad jokes about little blue elves,
please!)
