Plugin 'Bypass' automation

Hello,

I see that the plugin parameters can be automated individually but that is not what I need to do (at this moment). I simply want to set all the parameters and then when the particular part in the songs arrives that I want the effect on, I only want to “write” the automation command for switching the plugin from Bypass to ON (“deBypass”).

So the plugin is set up and Bypassed, the part in the song is reached and the plugin turns on, the part ends and the plugin goes back to Bypass.

Can this be done?

I’m running OS X.3.9 and Ardour 0.99.3.

Thank you.

P.S. Is there an upgrade for X.3.9?

Also, I am specifically

Also, I am specifically using the DJ Flanger plugin at this time.

And from the manual…
“You also need to enable automation playback for the plugin itself. This needs to be done in the plugin’s editor window by clicking on the automation button in the upper right corner. Without this step, the individual parameter buttons will not enable automation playback.”

I don’t see the automation button in the upper right corner. Just the Bypass button.

Thanks.

You can automate plugin

You can automate plugin parameters, but unfortunately you can’t automate plugin bypass.

Oh wow. Are there plans for

Oh wow. Are there plans for this in the future? Or, does a newer release feature this? I’m limited to 0.99.3 with OS X.3.9.

Or, is there another way to simulate this? I’d hate to throw that section of the track(s) onto new track(s) each time, having the effect on it, as if it was turned ON.

Thanks.

implementing this is totally

implementing this is totally trivial in the backend of ardour. what is hard, amazingly enough, is figuring out how to draw/represent it in the GUI. as soon as i get an idea on how to do it cheaply and correctly, it will be implemented.
