The problem with an arbitrarily valued
MOMENTARY/TRIGGER port
is specifying the trigger "low" value. Is it 0.0? Is it anything
out of the hinted range of the port?
the patch states that the 'low' value is always zero, and that zero
needs not be inside the value range.
BTW, this is exactly why no generic host can use the
sooperlooper
plugin... i had to treat one control port as effectively MOMENTARY
and arbitrary valued. It expected the host to take the port out of
range for a run() cycle before being able to retrigger. The trigger
resolution is limited to 2 run() boundaries, and that problem can
only be remedied by either splitting the run() or using an audio rate
control port. But SL shouldn't really be a ladspa plugin anyway....
someday soon it will be a standalone jack client.
fwiw, i prefer ladspa units if at all possible for less overhead and
greater control. i'm sure others prefer a jack client with a snappy
UI. :)
amicalement,
