Add a toggle for whether the VST parameters should be provided to the Info DAT. If you don't need them, you shouldn't waste the computation on filling the DAT.
When reading VST parameters, don't require the user to send all the channels. Maybe the channels should be checked for name matching rather than by index. Some VSTs accidentally have duplicate names for parameters, so we need to make them unique ("0_Master_Vol", "1_A_Pan", "2_A_Unison", ..). Then just infer the index from the prefix?
Any other thoughts from users are welcome!
