Sure, it's a nice feature, but fixing broken input might not be the=20
best use for it, at least not when you have sequencers and other stuf=20
in the setup as well.

That said, if we had a plugin API that can handle MIDI plugins (like=20
XAP or GMPI), we could just have the sampler host the "MIDI=20
corrector" plugin (and all sorts of other event processors and stuff=20
for that matter), to avoid other hosts and potential latency issues.=20
When using a sequencer, it would be natural to run the plugin on the=20
sequencer's inputs instead, so you get "normal" events in the tracks.

That wouldn't be too bad. :-)
