ssj71architecturally, what would be the best way for zyn to expose its 8 million parameters to a daw for automation?21:54
*** Yruama_Lairba has joined #lv221:54
ssj71apparently vsts allow for 200 blank automation slots that the plugin later assigns to values as the user selects them (omnisphere and kontakt and others do this)21:55
ssj71s/values/parameters21:55
ssj71perhaps patch:set?21:56
rgareusyesh patch:set  key value pairs21:59
ssj71but doesn't it then have to say what parameters are avaliable in ttl?22:00
rgareusgood point22:00
ssj71seems we need a patch:addkey or something22:01
rgareusand I'm still unclear which hosts currently allow automation on properties22:01
rgareusardour still does not currently22:01
ssj71I don't know if any yet. no plugins support it to my knowledge22:02
ssj71chicken and egg22:02
rgareuswell, it's used by a couple of plugins for  file loading22:02
ssj71but not automation22:03
rgareusrealistically though, I won't expect users to want to automate 8M parameters :)22:03
ssj71no but can you say which they will and which they won't?22:04
rgareusmap the most useful 1000 to MIDI CC and  write (or generate) a .midnam22:04
rgareusdoes zyn support MIDI learning?22:05
ssj71IIUC currently the user can midi learn anything of them and automate that way22:05
ssj71but many vst users on KVR are saying "come back and talk when you have real automation" :(22:06
rgareusright.  ardour exposing CC as regular automation lanes is awesome in that case22:06
ssj71yes22:07
ssj71I'm slightly concerned he'll do something for VST that will make it hard to do the LV2, but thats probably silly22:07
ssj71Mark wants to do things right22:09
ssj71hmm, is midi learn better or letting the host do the midi assignment?22:10
rgareusI just checked u-he's zebra2  that VST has 696 parameters22:14
ssj714 orders of magnitude different22:15
rgareusI don't think it make any sense to expose all 8M22:15
ssj71well that wouldn't be useable22:16
ssj71the workflow the KVR folks describe is that you basically select which ones you want to expose (with a max of 200 parameters)22:16
ssj71through the UI somehow22:16
ssj71well, that parts easy, more how it communicates that to the daw is the hard part22:17
rgareusdynamic naming of parameters...  Audio Unit can do.  VST no.22:17
ssj71perhaps it doesn't rename it then, they just have to look at the UI to know which is mapped to what22:18
ssj71I guess22:18
ssj71that doesn't seem ideal either22:18
ssj71its an interesting problem22:20
rgareusssj71: for setBfree I opted to only expose it via MIDI  -- midi-learn and generate a .midnam22:22
rgareusssj71: but that's arguably different.  most users play it using an actual keyboard22:22
rgareusand while you "mod" (tweak) a B3, you don't usually dynamically modulate it22:23
