Default Plugin Parameters

Post by mauronedj » Sun Jan 13, 2013 4:39 pm

Hi to all,
I want to ask if there is another solution for saving some default parameters with your vst!

Why Ableton does not allow us to save a default VST parameters??? It's very handy with APC, Mackie Control and other midi protocols! So, my question is, why not? :?

There is a simple workaround for this, as you can see there: http://help.touch-able.com/kb/ableton-l ... figuration
But it's still a workaround....

So please add this feature!
Mauro.

Sorry man, I don't specify that this request is for EXTERNAL plugins, VST and VSTi.

do you know of any other daws which do this ?
seems like the responsibility would be with the 3rd party vst supplier ?
for example all my psp and d16 plugins have this functionality ?

Reaper do this :D Pro Tools do this.
No the reason it's not the VST programmers but the VST Host!
Why I can save the configured VST within a project, and not do it for a default mappings?

I recently made the switch from Cubase to Ableton, and I thought that there was something wrong with my Ableton install. Cubase and many others let you save the default state of 3rd party VST, so please bring this in for Ableton 10... what I don’t understand, is why it even bothers to save the default preset? What is it doing with it?
