Yuck. Predefined... ok, I do that effectively. You get the bank you have
set. This could be costly if you have banksize 0 (infinite) and a whole
lot of tracks, but with a whole lot of tracks, banking just makes more
sense. (Len reminds self some surfaces would prefer to go to bank
starting at rather than next/last) Lots of refreshes is not nice for dumb
surfaces where metering will be turned on manually or at surface start and
expected to be there till shutdown or bank change. (or turned off) Blobs
of even 8 values (more useful size) are not so easy to spread out to
meters on a dumb surface even though they are less traffic.
All of these always on feedback types will need a timer. We can't send a
meter value for every sample or every meter calc I think. (same with
TC/bars)
