ok Richard, but will be awesome to have this data accessible to 3D Audio Visual developers, because we can create custom applications with a lot of visual SDKs like:
Unity 3D
Unreal Engine
Ogre
WebGL Applications
Syphon
PureData
http://openframeworks.cc/
and many others !
keep this data closed to one fixed and proprietary application will broke the opportunity to thousands of developers make awesome stuffs. Keep more 'open' possible and Aerodrums will be more and more popular (like you did with VST integration). think about it !
