[RWP] found an HSC set an VST plugin for reaper

[Indigo]

So far, I get no benefit in access from switching to generic interface, 
but that might be helpful in deriving coordinates that worked in every 
instance, I don't know.
I'll try generic interface, and maybe it'll get old FM8 to behave 
itself, and stop losing its preset list as soon as I arm trax in Reaper.
Thanx for reminding me of that setting.
