There's NO automation of DP8's plug-ins vía control surface?

[FMiguelez]

PLEASE tell me I´m wrong!

I just tried with DP7, and I could find no way to "attach" a MIDI controller to a DP plug-in parameter. I would need to do this to be able to automate them from my Novation Controller.

Is this possible? If so, how?

The Attach MIDI Controller only seems to be available for the mixer's knobs and faders (as mentioned in the manual), but there's not even a contextual menu for the plugs

Can this be? That we can automate 3rd party plug-ins but NOT MOTU's own plugs?

Any Novation users who have figured this out? I don't see Automap Pro having MAS support for DP's plug-ins either.

FM, you were there:

Yes. I was there.
But I meant AUDIO plug-in automation (not MIDI, like that thread's topic).

A quick glance at the thread, to refresh my memory, and it doesn't look promising...
The manual only mentioned faders and knobs in the mixer...
I didn't find a way to do it...

I guess that answers my own question

I suppose that's a MAS limitation?

Does it strike anyone as odd (to be polite) that we can automate almost any 3rd party plug with a control surface, but we can't do so with DP's native ones? We can automate Q8 but not Trim

Would anyone like to be able to do it?

Yes, this bothers me as well, was trying to do an eq sweep last night and found that I had to do it mouse-only Not as much fun, and kind of disappointing.

Do you think it's possible to create a MIDI track, record the automation data there, and somehow point the plug-in to read that? I know in the Sequence window you can write your own plug-in automation data with the pencil tool, haven't found anything that let's me say "Your automation data's over here, little plug-in" yet, though.

PITA, but how about custom consoles?

ControllerMate can do this.

With the help of Ken over at orderedbytes.com I have a prototype of a helper app to turn MWEQ knobs from a Korg NanoKontrol.
