I have this working with MIDI input, but there is a limit of 128 elements this way, and I'd like access to all of them. I'm not sure I quite understand the difference between VST host control and MIDI control, so correct me if I am wrong. I just realized that I can control many more than 128 presets in a VSTi from within Usine, so I'm assuming this would also be true of parameters.
Also, you can have finer-grained control over parameters with direct data than with MIDI. Useful if I am sweeping a filter with a Usine LFO.....
I realize a combobox for parameters and a data input for values is a 'monophonic' solution, but I'm assuming if I could control the parameter input programmatically, I could send several streams of data "simultaneously" by pairing parameter number and value in a data array.
Of course, you could also implement this with a single array input, that expects parameter/data pairs.
cheers!

If there's no way, it could become a suggestion!

let me think about it.

But there is another similar kind of functionality I'd like to see Usine enable too. It would be nice to be able to automatically populate a combo box with the parameter names of a given VST, and use that to route controller input to the vst.
This would help the problem of VSTs with lots of parameters taking up so much space in the patchbay. If you just had an input called -parameter- (visible in the compact version of the vst) you could control-drag from it to create a special parameter combo box. Whatever control input you assign to the combo box would be routed to the selected parameter in the vst.
This is how my current setup works, and I love it, because I don't have to decide in advance which parameters I want to control in a vst. I can just select 'filter cutoff' from the combobox associated with a particular MIDI knob input, and start twiddling.
Of course, I can do this now in Usine the same way I did it in Reaktor, but I have to type in all the parameter values manually. And now I'm spoiled in Usine by not typing in preset names
cheers!
