Feature request: expose all functionality via automatable parameters #193

Looks like it's just modulation routing and amount that are not currently available.

If this is feasible, thanks in advance!

This seems more like a thing you would configure in your preset than something you would automate. Maybe to facilitate something like this if it is not working directly, you could create a group of macro knobs/sliders like Massive uses, and those could function as more complex modulation adjustment?

I suppose I should verify what you mean by modulation routing and amount, are you referring to all modulation sources? LFOs/Step/envelopes and how they are connected to the tons of modulate-able parameters?

If so I don't think this is a thing that would work well with automation, it would be overloading to even probe the list of possible options since each one of those could go to any other parameter and in any amount, effectively adding about 13792 new parameters to the plugin interface that are uncommon to be automated as far as I know..

unless you have some clever specific plan for this? Maybe I could help figure out an alternative, was there something specific you wanted to do?
