Bypassed by the DAW

[Morphoice]

when a plugin is bypassed by the DAW, does or can it still do something? Is it just not receiving audio or completely dead? I was thinking of graying out some things in the GUI when it is bypassed, would that be possible?

I'm not sure whether vsts are aware of the fact that they are bypassed.

They might be. But I'm not sure I remember seeing any vsts that react to that, apart from native ones to the daw.

If so, nobody would ever accidentally be tweaking things while accidentally bypassed

Edit: seems that I stand corrected!

@d-healey I tried that recently just to reflect the bypass state of the DAW to the bypass button of the VST, but it wasn't reliable in the end... Maybe I've done it wrong that been said...
