Think of a volume or pan change associated with a bus instead of a track.
People who can see. Can't look at the arc of this volume or pan change. That
is an automation shape. Whether it's on a bus or a track.

Pardon my ignorance, but what's a bus automation shape?

Forgot to ask one thing. Will you be able to edit MIDI events using the
event list? Also, will it be possible to edit bus automation shapes?
Previously, the only automation events we even could find would be in the
event list for individual tracks. If you found such an event you could move
it in time but could not edit it per se. With respect to bus automation,
you couldn't even find it. You could simply remove via the undo command. The
ability to have greater control over event automation and bus automation
shapes would really be cool.

Hi all,
As you know I’ve been putting in long hours figuring out this C++ stuff. On
the final two files which are the critical part of this, I’ve had to start
over 3 times to get it right. Converting things from c code to c++ is not
easy and to maintain the code integrity is extremely difficult to do. I’m
about 70% complete on the last two files. The code is very complex and was
structured in a way that made certain things impossible and I’ve had to
create my own code to deal with the issues. This week should be good and I
hope to finish before Friday. If you’d like to know, you can control the
synths through this thing. You know what this means? You won’t have to
fiddle with knobs, sliders, buttons, etc in the plugin window anymore.
You’ll do it through a list. Technically this should work as I’ve seen the
code and see what it can do so this is just the solution we were looking
for. Mixed with the UIA these languages put together in natively working
environments are going to put to rest a
lot of accessibility concerns. What this control surface can do is far
beyond how it was used in the past so this should be interesting to see.
Mixed with HSC, UIA, control surface in native C++, and using the com API
this thing is going to be a beast of a program. More to come….
John
