J’s MIDI tools updated (21-09-09)

21-09-09

- Faster & fancier GUI ( now uses OpenGL display lists for rendering the objects ).

- VSync is now enabled by default ( hoping to address the high CPU usage in some systems ).

- Plugins now report themselves as synths with 2 (dummy) audio outputs, so that they can be directly used in hosts that don’t support VST  MIDI fx, but support midi output from a VST synth to another.
