useful to know -

But surely - wouldn't it be a lot simpler to just have an adjustable gain stage that takes the output from ANY plugin and then allows one to adjust final volume - regardless of how the internal volume is controlled in a plugin MIDI-wise?

This is how literally every app I have used that has hosting of plugins - has behaved. whether a DAW, a dedicated host like MainStage - whatever. The volume one hears from the output is via a final "post-fade" type gain stage - adjustable by slider.

Now we have a piano-roll editor in BIAB Mac - all these issues become more important. Because being able to compose and edit a melody in BIAB n the MELODY track ( or other MIDI track for that matter ) and use one's own preferred plugins - depends on having all the normal access to the plugin one expects.

This means control of volume, being able to switch plugins etc while a track is playing - AND being able to audition and hear what one is playing-in when one is recording a MIDI part - and so on.
