Hey, I realize the world doesn't always match our perfect ideal.
But, look, we're trying to create a standard here which avoids the kind
of hacks, ill-specified behavior, and work-arounds to support
specific hosts that have plagued other plug-in formats in the past.
Sometimes the hosts or AudioUnits
haven't yet caught up to our ideal, but we're still looking to the future
and trying to encourage host developers and AudioUnit developers to
agree on a standard way of doing things (with much help from people
on this mailing list). The last thing we need is to
have all kinds of special case code floating around to work-around this
or that limitation or bug of some specific host or AudioUnit. I thought
we all understood that.

:-) hmmm, where is this planet where, because all hosts implement
that mapping, synth developers do not need to? It must be the
same planet where AU is the only platform which synth developers must
support, and where Logic supports multiple outs for AU's.
</facetious>
I'm sorry, I couldn't resist :-), but sometimes on this list
it feels like Apple is on that planet and the rest of us are
not.

I completely agree with you that MIDI learn is much more powerful
than MIDI implementation charts. However, I'm not sure it's necessary
for each MusicDevice to have to implement it. The hosting application
can effectively implement this soft-mapping feature without any
extra work on the part of the soft-synth developer....
