Plug-in Automation Lanes

[Lindon]

Hi, I have a customer who would like to have the Automation Lanes re-ordered in the final plug-in. So we are talking about pluginParameterName here.

Is there a way to do this?

@Lindon do you mean reordering how the parameters show up in the host but keep the component order the same?

If yes this isn‘t possible at the moment. How many parameters are you talking about?

yep that's what I mean - this customer's product has maybe 20 or 30 params...

@Lindon Well there is the option of defining custom automation items, but it comes with some non-trivial overhead on the data model design so if all you need to do is to reshuffle the order, I would need to add a custom method for this.

Maybe a new method that takes an Array of component IDs and uses this as order for the automation parameters:

const var b1 = Content.addButton("mySecondParameter", 0, 0);
// I would suggest we still need to set those...
b1.set("isPluginParameter", true);
const var b2 = Content.addButton("myFirstParameter", 0, 50);
b2.set("isPluginParameter", true);

Engine.setPluginParametersFromIds(["myFirstParameter", "mySecondParameter"];

@Christoph-Hart okay thanks yes that may well do it.
