Midi activity focus has been really useful in my very large template it got me to thinking, wouldn't it be nice if there was the same thing for audio and input channels?  Basically, you would turn "Audio Activity Focus" on (and by default that would disable midi activity focus) and then the VEP7 window would automatically scroll to show you channels where the meters are moving. 

I get that you could have a ton of audio channels with meter activity during playback but it could just be set by default to scroll the window to center the first audio channel where there is meter activity.  

This way, when you are stopped, not during playback, you could trigger an instrument from your DAW, and have the VEP window jump, not to show you the MIDI instrument, but the input channel or audio bus/return inside VEP so you can quickly find and edit effects plugins on that channel.  

Just a thought....feel free to discuss further.  Thanks!

Running latest build of VEP7 7.0.926 on a 2019 24 Core Mac Pro (Catalina 10.15.2).  If I load even one soundtoys plugin (latest "catalina approved" 5.3.2 version) into a channel inside VEP7, I get massive CPU spikes and continuous audio drop outs/pops no matter what my buffer is set to.  

Let me know if anyone else can replicate this issue.  Thanks!

I'm getting a strange issue (and I can't seem to figure out specifically what's causing it) where ONLY ocassionally, my VEP7 (latest catalina build 7.0.926) wil suddenly start eating MASSIVE amounts of my CPU for no reason at all, even when it's sitting idle and I am not playing back from the DAW. 

I'm on a brand new 2019 24core Mac Pro, Catalina 10.15.2 - When running a my big template, normally, the CPU% for VEP7 in activity monitor will idle around 70%.  However, when this happens, it jumps all the way up to 700% and stays there indefinitely...again this is while IDLE.  The other day it happened simply after saving.  Just now, it happened after I saved a multi in omnisphere.  Only way to fix the problem is to quit and restart.

Note, this is unrelated to my other thread about Sound Toys plugins as there are currently none inside the VEP7 template where this occured.  

Any insights or bug fix/updates are greatly appreciated!
