At least routing the commands via MIDI, you avoid the worst
artifacts.

I'm curious how other DAWs deal with this, because IIUC, the
pop is a consequence of the sudden change in gain multiplier
when the parameter change command is received, which creates
a square edge full of harmonics.

If that is correct, all digital mixers must all have some
cleverness wrapped around the volume and pan controls...
I think the technical term is rate-of-change damping.

I've posted a question on the LAD mailing list.

For your situation, what I can imagine is using mididings
to convert MIDI vol/pan control inputs to Nama vol/pan commands.

On receiving a command to increase the volume, Nama will
start an iterator that boosts the volume by acceptable
stepsize (I think around 1 dB) at a rate of about 100 steps/second.

If another volume command is received for the same volume
effect while the iterator is active, the endpoint will be
updated, and the direction of changed updated if necessary.

I wonder if there could exist a LADSPA gain plugin that provides
this damping.

Joel
