Yes, latency compensation is also available in the VST plugin, and
calibration also works.  There looks like a bug where setting the
overrides to zero will cause them to default to 512 which may not
actually be your buffer size. So to turn compensation off in the VST
plugin, set both overrides to 1.

Unless you are using a plugin before or after Mobius that adds
latency, you can use the same latency values in standalone
mode or VST mode.

Yes:

     !name Toggle Latency
     if inputLatency == 1
        Message Enabling Latency Compensation
        set inputLatency 256
        set outputLatency 256
     else
        Message Disabling Latency Compensation
        set inputLatency 1
        set outputLatency 1
     endif
