I am in need of a No-op (No Operation) VST. The VST needs pass a stereo audio channel untouched ... and that's it. 64-bit VST or VST3. No GUI is needed. Minimal footprint preferred (which I'm guessing would be VST rather than VST3).
Anyone seen such an animal?
Why I need this: Cantabile (DAW for live use) has some controls (Pan, in particular) that *only* exist for plugins (and the Cantabile Media Player). I need to Pan a bunch of signals, so I need to stick in a bunch of No-Op plugins to get access to the Pan control.
Considered some of the lightweight VSTs (e.g. DMG Audio's TrackControl) which are nice, but really not needed, since Cantabile itself provides the control I need.
Noop VST?

just use a regular gain plugin - the idea that having any function is sapping too much of your cpu is in your head. even a no-op plugin is going to have some overhead just by virtue of the fact it will be passing data in and out of the buffers.
a gain plugin won't do anything to the audio but if you're paranoid about it, airwindows bitshiftgain will do the job.
