117 /** Processing mode informs the plug-in about the context and at which frequency the process call is called.
118 VST3 defines 3 modes:
119 - kRealtime: each process call is called at a realtime frequency (defined by [numSamples of ProcessData] / samplerate).
120 The plug-in should always try to process as fast as possible in order to let enough time slice to other plug-ins.
121 - kPrefetch: each process call could be called at a variable frequency (jitter, slower / faster than realtime),
122 the plug-in should process at the same quality level than realtime, plug-in must not slow down to realtime
123 (e.g. disk streaming)!
124 The host should avoid to process in kPrefetch mode such sampler based plug-in.
125 - kOffline: each process call could be faster than realtime or slower, higher quality than realtime could be used.
126 plug-ins using disk streaming should be sure that they have enough time in the process call for streaming,
127 if needed by slowing down to realtime or slower.
129 Note about Process Modes switching:
130 - Switching between kRealtime and kPrefetch process modes are done in realtime thread without need of calling
131 IAudioProcessor::setupProcessing, the plug-in should check in process call the member processMode of ProcessData
132 in order to know in which mode it is processed.
133 - Switching between kRealtime (or kPrefetch) and kOffline requires that the host calls IAudioProcessor::setupProcessing
134 in order to inform the plug-in about this mode change.

176 /** Processing buffers of an audio bus.
177 This structure contains the processing buffer for each channel of an audio bus.
178 - The number of channels (numChannels) must always match the current bus arrangement.
179 It could be set to value '0' when the host wants to flush the parameters (when the plug-in is not processed).
180 - The size of the channel buffer array must always match the number of channels. So the host
181 must always supply an array for the channel buffers, regardless if the
182 bus is active or not. However, if an audio bus is currently inactive, the actual sample
183 buffer addresses are safe to be null.
184 - The silence flag is set when every sample of the according buffer has the value '0'. It is
185 intended to be used as help for optimizations allowing a plug-in to reduce processing activities.
186 But even if this flag is set for a channel, the channel buffers must still point to valid memory!
187 This flag is optional. A host is free to support it or not.

263 The host should always deliver the same number of input and output busses than the plug-in
264 needs (see \ref IComponent::getBusCount). The plug-in has 3 possibilities to react on this
265 setBusArrangements call:\n
266 1. The plug-in accepts these arrangements, then it should modify, if needed, its busses to match

268 IAudioProcessor::getBusArrangement ()) and then should return kResultTrue.\n
269 2. The plug-in does not accept or support these requested arrangements for all
270 inputs/outputs or just for some or only one bus, but the plug-in can try to adapt its current
271 arrangements according to the requested ones (requested arrangements for kMain busses should be
272 handled with more priority than the ones for kAux busses), then it should modify its busses arrangements
273 and should return kResultFalse.\n
274 3. Same than the point 2 above the plug-in does not support these requested arrangements
275 but the plug-in cannot find corresponding arrangements, the plug-in could keep its current arrangement
276 or fall back to a default arrangement by modifying its busses arrangements and should return kResultFalse.\n

344 Inform the plug-in about how long from the moment of generation/acquiring (from file or from Input)
345 it will take for its input to arrive, and how long it will take for its output to be presented (to output or to speaker).
347 Note for Input Presentation Latency: when reading from file, the first plug-in will have an input presentation latency set to zero.
348 When monitoring audio input from an audio device, the initial input latency is the input latency of the audio device itself.
350 Note for Output Presentation Latency: when writing to a file, the last plug-in will have an output presentation latency set to zero.
351 When the output of this plug-in is connected to an audio device, the initial output latency is the output
352 latency of the audio device itself.
354 A value of zero either means no latency or an unknown latency.
356 Each plug-in adding a latency (returning a none zero value for IAudioProcessor::getLatencySamples) will modify the input
357 presentation latency of the next plug-ins in the mixer routing graph and will modify the output presentation latency
358 of the previous plug-ins.

387 To get accurate process context information (Vst::ProcessContext), it is now required to implement this interface and
388 return the desired bit mask of flags which your audio effect needs. If you do not implement this
389 interface, you may not get any information at all of the process function\x13.
391 The host asks for this information once between initialize and setActive. It cannot be changed afterwards.
393 This gives the host the opportunity to better optimize the audio process graph when it knows which
394 plug-ins need which information.
396 Plug-Ins built with an earlier SDK version (< 3.7) will still get the old information, but the information
397 may not be as accurate as when using this interface.
