OK I see. There are probably several levels of plug ins then, and so what I
was asking for is not appropriate at this level.
1) Something like BeOS MediaNodes. Very heavy weight, more like full apps
that can be piped together.
2) Statically allocated large processes/effects with GUIs, automation. VST
and TDM plugins fall here.
3) Lightweight unit generators. MSP, Csound, SC unit generators.
