Implements the full encoding pipeline for Expert Sleepers ES-5 with
ESX-8GT (gate) and ESX-8CV (CV) expanders as a native CLAP plugin.
Encoder logic ported from Expert Sleepers' MIT-licensed Pure Data
externals (https://github.com/expertsleepersltd/externals).
- ES-5 encoder: packs 6 × 8-bit header values into stereo 24-bit audio
- ESX-8GT encoder: 8 boolean gates → 1 byte
- ESX-8CV encoder: 8 × 12-bit CV values via 64-phase state machine
- 54 automatable parameters (6 header types + 48 gate/CV values)
- State save/load for preset support
- Builds on Linux (tested), macOS, and Windows
