Way to configure VST parameters without manually selecting?

[itsmorning]

Does ableton have a shortcut to select all VST parameters when trying to map/configure them?

Usually you click the configure button and then click the parameters you want mapped into ableton. Is there a way to automatically configure all parameters in the vst into ableton?

Sorry if this is confusing.

Thanks for the help.

I'm guessing there is no way to accomplish this.

example: u have flanger, chorus and reverb. u want control all dry/wet at dane time with one click? if yes try midi learn or macro, pointing all dry/wet for dane control.. like all dry wets in same knob.

dane

= "same"?

Anyway, you're one step ahead of what itsmorning is looking for. He's talking about making a vst's parameters accessible to mapping or automation at all.

You may be right. I've just tried some plugins. Those with a low parameter count readily show all their parameters in the extended device frame, for the others you have to activate each individually.

Edit:
Maybe you do it once for a plugin and save that as a preset?

There is an options.txt setting which lets you set the threshold for number of parameters before it doesn't autopopulate.

Thanks, wasn't aware of that.

It's even one of the entrys Ableton documents to the outside world: Options.txt file for Live | Ableton

Default is 32, max 128.

How undouglasadamsish!

Actually, I think there is another where 128 is not the limit. But any number of parameters will populate. I think I learned it best via the sonic bloom blog. It was a workaround method for automatically having access to parameters with Push.

yes, dane=same.. sry, android dict.
he want a "master parameter control group"? like a plugin with all selected/active parameters?

Maybe later, who knows.

Take just any plugin with lots and lots of parameters, more than the default 32 or whatever you have specified for "PluginAutoPopulateThreshold" in your options.txt. There will be no parameters in the instrument frame until...

...
you click the configure button and then click the parameters you want mapped into ableton.
...

... and none of them will be available for midi-mapping, macro-mapping, or automation.
