Automation subfolders in DAW

[DanH]

@ustk yeah this should work. You have to define the automation groups in the script. Will send over example when back at computer

[ustk]

@DanH Oh ok so script is the way! Checking this right now...

[DanH]

@ustk

var PluginParameterGroupNames = ["Sampler", "Synth", "etc"];

[ustk]

@DanH Oh nice! I just got back home so we're in sync!

So I did this

const var groups = ["EQ", "Input Stage", "Noise", "Exciter", "Output Tube", "Transformer", "Macros", "Envelopes", "LFOs"];

uph.setPluginParameterGroupNames(groups);

But how do I set the groups to the different components?

I created the parameter object:

const var IS_TYPE_MACRO     = 0;
const var IS_TYPE_CUSTOM    = 1;
const var IS_TYPE_COMPONENT = 2;

const var obj = {
	"Low Boost":     {type: IS_TYPE_COMPONENT, parameterIndex: 0,  typeIndex: 0,  group: groups[0], name: "Low Boost"},
	"Low Freq":      {type: IS_TYPE_COMPONENT, parameterIndex: 1,  typeIndex: 1,  group: groups[0], name: "Low Freq"},
	"Low Cut":       {type: IS_TYPE_COMPONENT, parameterIndex: 2,  typeIndex: 2,  group: groups[0], name: "Low Cut"},
	"Hi Bandwidth":  {type: IS_TYPE_COMPONENT, parameterIndex: 3,  typeIndex: 3,  group: groups[0], name: "Hi Bandwidth"},
	"Hi Boost Freq": {type: IS_TYPE_COMPONENT, parameterIndex: 4,  typeIndex: 4,  group: groups[0], name: "Hi Boost Freq"},
	"Hi Boost":      {type: IS_TYPE_COMPONENT, parameterIndex: 5,  typeIndex: 5,  group: groups[0], name: "Hi Boost"},
	"Hi Cut":        {type: IS_TYPE_COMPONENT, parameterIndex: 6,  typeIndex: 6,  group: groups[0], name: "Hi Cut"},
	"Hi Cut Freq":   {type: IS_TYPE_COMPONENT, parameterIndex: 7,  typeIndex: 7,  group: groups[0], name: "Hi Cut Freq"},
	"Bypass":        {type: IS_TYPE_COMPONENT, parameterIndex: 8,  typeIndex: 8,  group: groups[0], name: "Bypass"},
	"Heat":          {type: IS_TYPE_COMPONENT, parameterIndex: 9,  typeIndex: 9,  group: groups[1], name: "Heat"},
	"Bias":          {type: IS_TYPE_COMPONENT, parameterIndex: 10, typeIndex: 10, group: groups[1], name: "Bias"},
	"Dynamic":       {type: IS_TYPE_COMPONENT, parameterIndex: 11, typeIndex: 11, group: groups[2], name: "Dynamic"},
	"Hold":          {type: IS_TYPE_COMPONENT, parameterIndex: 12, typeIndex: 12, group: groups[2], name: "Hold"},
	"Static":        {type: IS_TYPE_COMPONENT, parameterIndex: 13, typeIndex: 13, group: groups[2], name: "Static"},
	"Mix":           {type: IS_TYPE_COMPONENT, parameterIndex: 14, typeIndex: 14, group: groups[2], name: "Mix"}
};

But then I don't know what to do with this

uph.setPluginParameterSortFunction(function(p1, p2)
{
	return -1; // instant crash
	return 1;  // instant crash
	return undefined; // doesn't crash
});

how do I pass obj?
I guess just returning -1 should assign the parameter in natural order but it's just crashing instantly

It's like a crucial step is missing in the doc and there's not even a single entry with those methods in the whole forum...

[ustk]

@DanH Holy sh... They are just appearing in the property editor! No need for the sort function if, well, no sorting is needed lol

still it's weird it's crashing but at least I got something...

[DanH]

@ustk yeah that’s it! However I get an error on compile saying the names aren’t valid. But it still works.

[ustk]

@DanH Mmmm... I don't get any error

[DanH]

@ustk good to know

[ustk]

@DanH hmmm actually I have errors when opening the project then not anymore when compiling.
I also see the warning when exporting the plugin but effectively it’s not a blocking point

[DanH]

@ustk ah yeah, that's it
