This would specify out any plugins that used audio ports for values that are outside this range for good reason (see my previous post about using audio-rate ports for non-audio data). Additionally, even when using actual audio data, it may be useful to allow values outside this range for further processing (such as amplifying a signal to [-2.0, +2.0] and putting it through a hard-limiter for distortion effects). > > So long, > J�rgen -- Myk __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
