If the Plugin contained the generate code and didn't need bbw4.exe or bbw4.app the Plugin would then be released at the same time, same as other VST's do with their Win/Mac versions, wouldn't it ?

Would the Mac users still have to wait 6 months for the same programming to be done to the Biab In A Box.app as that has just been done to the Win bbw_64.exe before they could get the Mac Plugin ? or would it be released as a separate Plugin/ Plugin Standalone+Tracks package in December ?

With the actual BBPlugin Standalone being as quick or even quicker than the main Biab exe/app to generate/play tracks this would be a whole new ball game wouldn't it ?
Wouldn't you then be able to do an Alt+F8 in the Plugin to regen any track sections.
Wouldn't the BBPlugin/Standalone be able to have proper time signatures, any tempo map, more that 255 bars then ? same as Superior Drummer 3 ?
Would it be rebranded as a whole new "Plugin" when it becomes independent of the bridging system and able to work standalone, so as to differentiate it from the old way it "worked" ?
With Mac changing OS very often would the Plugin/Plugin Standalone suffer less with compatibility issues than the main app ?
