I'm not sure I understand.  What happens if you try to use more than

one?  It should be possible.

We could query them on demand, yes.  I think most hosts would probably

request them upfront anyway, so it might not be worth it, but there's

probably no harm.  If I remember aright, VST requires you to select a

preset in order to query its name, which is why it's so slow.  I'm

probably forgetting something though.
