| FYI - Just saw the following today regarding automation on the VST
plugins list. Apparently, many developers are only supporting MIDI
automation. I can certainly understand why .. too many hosts and
formats to support. So, I guess, it's probably not worth worrying
about supporting it.

That's exactly the same thing in FL.
But I prefer a plugin format that sucks less and gives you automation
ramps.
That's why I've given up on host automation and rely only on Midi
Automation.
Cross plugin format and sample accurate in all hosts.
