True! Now that you mention it, Csound UGENS always copy input to output.

I'd love to use CLM instead of Csound, but from a quick perusal it seems
that it isn't as of yet set up for real-time MIDI control. Which is a
serious showstopper. Please prove me wrong, and/or suggest that it wouldn't
be too dificult to set up CLM as a MIDI performance instrument.
