What's the diff between the plug in and script?
ProductiveC. Manipulator is more expensive but comes as a plug in and 
the data looks pretty complete

The AB2FM does very well too and for about 10euro it's fair to test 
it out and see....but it seems to be a script compilation....

does anyone know of a true FMP and AB synching mechanism???
