Automation in VST is pretty much broken AFAICT. It relys on

i am tempted to say "not true" but i may miss something.
- there is a setParameter() call on the plugin (so i can automate
it)
- the plugin calls me back if i do changes in the UI.
what am i missing ?
OK, I'm wrong - I was unde the impression that the UI could
directly change/pass values in/to the plugin without telling the
host.
It can, can't it? Torben's "the plugin calls me back" is how it's
intended to work, but there's nothing to enforce it. Still, if a
plugin said it was automatable but failed to do that, it would really
be the plugin that was broken.
