But it causes a lot more. You need some way to guarantee that the timing
is consistent between plugins and host to make sure that automation
effects are deterministic.

In practice, having the host do the MIDI binding is good, it means you get
a consistent interface across all plugins and makes things a lot simpler.
If your host of choice doesnt support MIDI mapping then petition the
author :)
