Ability to Automate AU Parameters (in Cubasis)

Was making a track in Cubasis 3, and while trying to tamper with the Vibrato module via automation track, I noticed that its parameters aren't able to have automation tracks. I don't know if I'm just ignorant on this issue or if it's the app, but if it isn't me, I think it would be nice if we had the ability to automate the modular parameters with automation tracks outside of the program itself!

Ziru Dan Taylor This is a Cubasis bug and I've created a post on the topic on Steinberg's forum. Feel free to upvote it: https://forums.steinberg.net/t/automation-breaks-with-dynami… Here's a video demo of the bug: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3w9g_HKkuk I've also written a tech note for host devs on the topic: https://nikolozi.com/mela/tech-notes/parameter-tree/

Hey Ziru, Mela exposes all of its parameters to hosts for automation. For example, you can see in this video I automate a Note Event parameter in Logic Pro https://youtu.be/rTb7G1YWZNA?si=AvJVY03SCNsXp4li&t=171 I think Cubasis's issue is that it doesn't observe AUParameterTree object changes. Since Mela is modular, its parameter tree changes and some DAWs/Hosts don't have much experience with AUv3s with dynamic trees. I will contact Cubasis team to inform them about the issue. Feel free to message them also to make it a higher-priority bug.
