VST Plug-in AutomationVST plug-in automation works in much the same way as VS3 plug-in and Pyramix Mixer automation. However,there are a few differences:Automation ModeRead/Write, Auto-Write or Isolate status can only be set for an entire plug-in.VST - Plug-In Automation Read Write buttonsAutomation mode is set using the R and W buttons to be found at top right of a VST Effect window as shownabove. (Unlike VS3 plug-ins individual controls cannot have independent Automation modes)Automated Control ValuesControl values are always expressed as zero to one. I.e. in the range 0.0 to 1.0 when editing automation points inthe Timeline. The exception is when the VST plug-in reports a control as a toggle switch.VST - Plug-In Automation node control value displayOn/Off and BypassLike VS3 plug-ins VST plug-ins have yellow On/Off and red bypass buttons on the mixer providing standard bypasscontrol.The left-hand yellow button is lit when the effect is switched on. Switching an effect off removes it from the signalchain and this may well be audible.The right-hand red button indicates that the effect is bypassed when lit.Bypassing an effect retains the same delay as when the effect is active. Further, well behaved effects will continueto calculate internal parameters when bypassed making seamless switching possible.Note: Certain VST plug-ins such as UltraPitch do not have the standard VST internal“soft” bypass function. In this case, Bypass simply acts as an ON/OFF button. One effectof this is a change in Delay compensation scheme resulting in latency changes as theEffects and Plug-Ins : VST Support 13 - 258
