Thinning MCCGenerator & MIDI Recording?

Hey guys loving your products, long story but I’ve made a LOT of live streamed soundscapes incorporating them through Gig Performer.
Couple questions, perhaps in the arena of application notes… this all applies to use in a live VST host not a DAW.
Too-Thick MIDI CC ?
Is there any way to regulate or “thin” the MIDI traffic generated by 8 channels of MCCGenerator running full blast? What’s its regard for MIDI 1.0 31.25kbps UART spec for example? Any strategies to manage this usage case?
Is there some way I can accomplish same result as MCCGenerator (all those lovely waveforms) except using VST Host parameter changes instead of outputting MIDI CC? I realize this may be a different VST altogether. Please guide me.
Recording MIDI?
Do you have capability to record MIDI with sample accurate timing, similar to your awesome audio recording VST? Because that would be even awesomer.
I just LOVE your products and I can’t recommend them highly enough. They’re really advanced but they’re REALLY worth the learning curve time. Thanks for the help in my journey.
If you’ve answered all this a zillion times before I apologize and would you please direct me to those answers?

Good question. I suggest putting in your thread title something about your question.

Hey Kvn thanks!
Ok so:
1) MCCGenerator sends the MIDI only when a parameter changes. So the "traffic" kinda follows how much you move the controllers.
2) What do you mean by recording MIDI?

Sorry too much concise not enough context. I’m using Gig Performer. It has the ability to record MIDI input during a performance. But I’m thinking more of adding a MIDI record feature perhaps to your WAV recording Plugin. I remember seeing an open source project on GitHub for recording MIDI with accuracy of 44.1/48kHz (etc) sample rate, but apparently only supporting MacOS. I would like to be able to record sample-accurate MIDI that occurs in my live Gig Performer (or arbitrary) VST host session. Hope that clarifies!

Thank you!
I'm afraid no MIDI recording is really planned (not sure what we would do with it

I just am a new member, but I have a similar question.
However, I think what you want is already implemented. You can select the Transformation shape in the Parameter Settings.
Press the right mouse button, then you get a menu. There you have a 'Snap to grid Y' option. You can select a Stairs pattern. Then when you see the stairs graphic, you select the white mouse button and you can move the cursor up/down to change the amount of steps.
This will result in less MIDI messages being sent.
