Wouldn't it be great if 3rd-party developers could develop plug-ins for CopperLan that are automatically loaded on start-up? These could be used for data transformations for example.
Simple plug-in won't even need a GUI if they have only simple settings that can be modified with the CopperLan Manager (as it's done for the settings of the Alyseum devices for instance).
Maybe the CopperPlug MIDI Target definition files could also be handled as plug-ins so that they are automatically available when you're booting your system.
