I guess so...just seems weird to send a ramp to it.
Tim:> So don't use a float value for it ;P
Granted, I could specify delay as an integer in milliseconds, but surely
there are other 'float' parameters that aren't intended to be ramped?

I think we're saying the same thing. I said not "automatable", you say not
"realtime".
Neither is strictly true. My 'buffer-size' parameter can be automated in
realtime, the audio sometimes glitches as the buffer is re-allocated, but
you can do it.
We just need some hint that you (for example) don't connect that parameter
to the mod-wheel.
Best Regards,
Jeff
