Is there a work around if third party VST parameters can't be automated?

Hey all, I'm trying to get ANA2 working in Reason. It seems you can't use the 'Automate+' button at the top of the vst UI. When I press that button and then click a dial on ANA nothing happens.

So if I go into a midi clip and go to the 'note lane performance parameter' list I can create lanes and automate things from there, so it does work, however a lot of the most important parameters are missing from the list.

Can anything be done to control these missing parameters, or is ANA2 simply incompatible with Reason?

many thanks

I downloaded the demo. The Automate+ button creates lanes for almost every parameter I click. The only ones I've run into that don't are the EQ and Macros, and I suppose there are others. But the list of possible automation destinations is really long!

In any case, you can also use Remote and automate from a controller on your keyboard.

Thanks a lot that's really useful. So I've mapped a dial from my mpkmini2 to the delay wet/dry, and another to macro 1. Both are responding and I can perform the changes I want as the track plays.

My issue now is how do I record that data into a lane? Any help would be greatly appreciated

Put the VST inside a Combinator. You will be able to access those parameters now.

For some legacy code reasons, Reason has an upper limit to how many parameters it can access, unless you use a Combinator

Yes, with avenger it's the same. Use combinator.

I have reported this bug on 17/08/2017. Kind of sad
