Well, I guess we're just going to have to agree to disagree here.

No, I called VST dumb, not your methods. But by using a VST foundation,
you are losing out on the advantages of handling parameter values the AU
way (not normalized), as I described. It's up to you whether you think
that's dumb or whatever, but it is true, so no need to shoot (or
sarcastically complain to) the messanger...

I didn't say it was such a bad thing (that's exaggerated again), but more
importantly, it's definitely not up to me anyway. ;) I was just giving my
thoughts, mostly because your first message demonstrated that you didn't
understand how AU parameters are used, so I've been trying to help you
determine whether AU parameters as they are now would be a good enough
possibility for you.
