The [Max API DeviceParam] file gets you a list of all the parameters in all the plug-ins in your set. Could someone show me how to add in a [live.object] and a [live.remote~], in such a way that I can use the plug-in parameter menu to direct the [live.object] and [live.remote~] objects to a specific parameter of a specific plug in?

The code for the [Max API DeviceParam] file is pasted belowl
