Finer automation control

Post by aioffermann » Sat Apr 08, 2023 10:36 pm

Hellooo. Long time since I've been on the forum. Just wanted to double check: we are still limited to 100 values per the 2 decimal point automation system in most plug-in cases right? Like, I can't get finer than 100 automation values for Arturia's DX7 filters, for example, right? I know it probably seems unnecessary but yea, just checking. Thank you, future repliers!

EDIT: nevermind - I see VST3 is what's necessary. I would delete this thread if I knew how!

Yeah, I've done that a couple of times. Mods don't seem to be too willing to delete either. But, now that you posted a workaround/solved, it might help someone else.
Live 11.x Suite, Push 2, AMD Ryzen 7900x @ 4.7 GHZ, Windows 11, 32 GB ram, Volt 2, Nektar T4 and Atom SQ.
Also a new lappy: i7 1269, 32 gigs of ram.

The automation value range is 0-1.0 with 100 subdivisions, that's right. Normally, instruments use a range of 0-127 for MIDI controllers. However, I would not assume here that Live does not output any interpolation that is calculated between the “visible” values. That's just a guess on my part.
