Do we want to provide a suggested range of values for

expect values between 0 and 1.0, and the host can map MIDI onto that? Or 0
and 127, like MIDI? or 0 and MAX_INT and let the synth blow up when you
pass a VELOCITY of 10000, and it expects 127?
I think they should be normalised to [0,1], theres nothing special about
MIDI.
I had been assuming a single event-queue per instance.
Two questions: why
would a plugin (assuming not multi-timbral for now) have more than one
event-queue? Assuming we do support multi-timbral synths, is there an
advantage to having events per-channel event-queues? Do you envision each
Channel getting the ->run() method seperately, or does ->run() loop? If it
is looping anyway, is there an advantage to multiple event-queues?
If we support multi timbrality a the API level then there is no point
having multiple queues (I think), you can just have "timbre" and
"voice"
values in the struct (wow, multi-timbral really makes no sense does it ;)
