VST parameters connexions

[jean-marc duchenne]

Hi,

The direct inputs / outputs of VST parameters on the module is a VERY good idea and very powerful, but some plugins can show a huge number of useless parameters.

The question : could it be possible to give the user the possibility to select what parameters he wants to show or not ?
Also, some hosts hide automatically the parameters if their name is "unused" or "hidden", "reserved" or "n/a" for example.
It would be pratical to do something like this.

Thanks !

We have to take care.
Some "reserved" or "hiden" vst parameters give access to very interesting functions witch does appears in the basic gui.
Some time I use them to make unusual effects.
So what to do?

Does a custom selection with a show/hide option in a dialog box would be hard to implement ?

Your suggestion is interesting for some huge VST.

The problem is that in some VST (ie: reaktor again) the parameter list depends on the preset (ensemble in reaktor).
So you should modify the check list on each preset...

And now imagine a 475 parameters checkbox list!

yes
yes
yes
no
no
...
475 times...
Hard job?
