The SC* plugins do the same as TAP (calculate the gain every 4 samples),

but I interpolate the gain values between each computation. The

attch/deacay times were slow enough in my testing that it was OK to do

that.
It would be trivial to change the plugins to caclulate every sample, but

at the time they were first released it made the plugin too expensive to

run many at once. Things may be better on current CPUs.
