That's been my understanding.  Parameters are the things a host/user
can change.

But also things whose change events a plug could emit on its own, for recording by the host... right?

 else than the plug-in user interface. (so what the host need in term of
 information to do that in a good way) !?


I think yes - all parameters should have enough information so that a
reasonable UI could be drawn without plugin-specific UI support.  That might
include valid ranges, normalized vs. non-normalized hints, units, etc.

I think this is the idea, and the only exception would be blobs since they'd be too cumbersome to support generically.



- Will the host use that kind of parameter to make automation sequencing !?

That's what we've been saying..

 - Will the host use that to propose an alternate user interface or a grouped
 used interface with different parameters of different plug-in (e.g. a button
 to control the bypass of the reverb aux 1, reverb aux 2 and chorus aux 3....
 or a knob to set the gain of the EQ track 1,3, and compressor on track
 4,5... in absolute mode or relative mode ) !?.

Why not? - that's just automation...
