VST Parameter Linking/MIDI/Presets Q + Bugs

Hi,

1. Is it possible to link a single parameter in a VST effect to multiple dashboard Dials (which are linked to MIDI) but cannot figure out how to do this, there's nothing in the manual that i could find about linking a parameter to multiple dials. (you can only a specific parameter to 1 dial). Also noticed a little bug that will not let you drag and drop a parameter onto the dial if another parameter is already linked to it, but u can get around this by using the drop down menu next to the parameter.

2. Is there any way you can "fade in" a VST in RA3? Say you have a clean Kick sound already playing at appropriate volume, it would be nice if you could fade in a distortion VST with all of its parameters set so that you don't have to try linking each of its parameters to invert/lower the gain specific to each parameter. I hope that makes sense. Related to question 1.

3. Is there a way I can load the VST preset/links I have made onto a 2nd computer? Or all the settings and presets saved to the composition file? (I like to create settings and tweak on my PC first then move them to my laptop, if possible)

Also, i've get crashed to desktop when I try to delete a VST preset in RA3. And sometimes I get crashes when using a VST's UI, although that could be the VST itself, it doesn't crash it other programs though.

And i also get crashes when i try to exit RA3, which is harmless, but happens everytime.

I'm using Windows XP 64-bit.

Resolume 3 has lots of potential, and think it will just get better :)

No this is not possible because it will cause conflicts. Imagine having two dials both to 0. Now use one dial and set it 10, now use the second dial, it will go from 0 and thus cause the parameter to glitch from 10 to 0. Hope you understand.

Are you sure? This is actually what the dials are designed for and we use it all the time and never heard of anyone having this problem.

Sure, use the wet/try slider that is above every vst effects' parameters.

You can copy the preset files, they are stored here:
MAC: /Users/[username]/Library/Application Support/Resolume Avenue 3/presets/
PC: /Documents and Settings/[username]/Application Data/Resolume Avenue 3/presets/

Let us know the name of the plugins that work and which don't in this thread:
