Related to this is that at one time all MIDI actions (including bank/program

MIDI up more so that deciding what to do (decoding NRPNs etc.) is in the MIDI
thread, but actually doing it is in the audio thread.
Sounds like excellent design!
The remaining (potentionally) unsafe operations are:
The presets paste buffer
Some vector controls
A few CLI controls
Once these are resolved the master mutex can go
Hehe, this almost reminds me of kernel developers, they are also talking
about the "the big kernel lock", which comes up a lot in relation to the
RT patches. The less locks the better though!
