p-0=0,17,1,1,1,'chIN-1','#ch',z1-a
p-1=0,16,1,1,1,'chOUT-1','#ch',z1-b
... these 2 lines need to be placed BEFORE the other parameters referencing via "z-codes", reason:
first send port, then send parameters to MIDI-output
Parameters and Variables in Plugin.Ini (if it contains a MIDI-output) are transmitted from top
to bottom.
Issues
the external MIDI Input/Output Port of mGUI might cause serious crashes ...
mGUI's JOY code is currently disabled ...
Version History
v1.5.9.8 - 28 Nov 2007
added "soft-Bypass" which is linked to mGUI's bypass(ID-955)/FXon(ID=957),
advantage is that IF a host/sequencer supports canDo("bypass") and AudioEffectX::setBypass()
then bypass usually functions better, when switching mGUI's bypass it reduces "glithes"
improved Bypass algorithm: after the cross-fade mGUI now keeps on fake-processing
the wrapped plugin's output until its level has dropped below -60dB, advantage is that
e.g. reverb tails won't sound the un-Bypassing

?? --

the output
