Modules out there that are using a mutex in the audio thread?

I noticed that there are still modules in the plugin manager that are using mutexes in the audio thread, apparently to safely share data with the UI.

Please don’t do this. It’s going to cause random pops and clicks in VCV. Users will never be able to tell which module is responsible for this. They will just think that VCV pops and clicks (which isn’t really true).

The internet is full of information sources that will confirm this is a bad thing. Here’s a post from Andrew reiterating that: Bridge in Rack v1 - #20 by Vortico
