Well, those kind of belong together - at least if

the level where feedback loops are used frequently. I think an
"ordinary" plugin API can do some of this, but only for sane feedback
delays, unless you can accept burning most of the CPU time on
overhead.
It doesnt have to be that expensive, but you have to design your system
that way from the ground up, and it basicly rules out conventional
plugins.
Modular synths that generate code from graphs are a
rather
interesting approach, though... :-)
Aren't they :) There is a good one for Windows, called SyncModular. You
can drill down right into the basic filters and see a bunch of z^-1's and
amplifiers :)
You could do better under linux with Free Software, but I just dont have
enough free time, or GUI skills :(
Linuxsampler is using a similar approach, but its not blockless (and
it wouldn't be noticably better if it was).
Still if anyone ever wants to tackle this they can have a fair chunk of my
spare brain cycles.
