VST3 allows the GUI to run in a different process?

well, almost. as i mentioned, AU doesn't really route parameter
changes via the host, it just makes sure that the host can find out
about them. the nicest part of the AU system is the highly
configurable listener system, which can be used to set up things like
"i need to hear about parameter changes but i don't want to be told
more than once every 100msec" and more. its pretty cool.
