Vst Wrapper translate dB to Live.Dial

you can only find out the range and curve used inside the VST by trial and error. most likely a [dbtoa] will be involved.

The command values are always from 0. to 1., and you can use either the number or the name of the parameter from the name column.
But you can get the value interpreted by the VST back from the second outlet if you change the valuemode attribute to String or Both after the signal outlets (depending whether the vst is mono or stereo). And then use that as your display instead of the values of the dial.

This is great! I still don't understand, how I can translate the raw values into the true values again. I managed to use a gain slider to represent the in and ouputs, but -6 is 0db for example.

GOT it. I needed to use the "raw value" input... THANKS

Now I only need to find out how to access some hidden values that don't show up in the list like an oversampling function...

AFAIK if it doesn't show up in the list, it's a parameter that can't be automatized, and therefore it's not accessible outside of the original graphical interface.

usign raw values of course does no longer have the benefit of all parameter ranges been normalized (and therefore all of an equal kind.)

I'm not sure I understand what you mean Roman. The raw value is just the [0. 1.] range coming out of the right outlet of the live.dial.

When I want to have an external control of a VST, I usually use any sort of control outputting a [0. 1.] range and then display below the string output by the VST. This way, I can change which parameter I control with one single dial, and still get a visual feedback of the actual value that's controlled.

i was under the under the impression that you wanted your custom knob to behave like the plug-in GUI, where you can set hertz and db in a useful, non-linear way.
