Parameter Automation

All parameters in Vienna Ensemble Pro 7 and its hosted plug-ins are automatable from the master host (512 mappable parameters available), including touch automation. MIDI CC control is also possible.

The Automation Mapping Window is now available as a dockable window, like Mixer, Instrument, Channel Pane, and MIR PRO.

Important

Some Instruments like Vienna Instruments / Pro, Vienna Synchron Player, and Spectrasonics plug-ins only respond to CC automation in general, so that no dedicated parameters can be assigned and used for this kind of automation.
