Hi guys. I'm struggling with the concept of automation, presets and CCs.
I have looked at several examples that work as specified, but I can't see how to get it right. I'm not getting it.
Who can tell me in simple words how to make a parameter automatable from a host?

Have you added a preset manager?

Well, that's the thing. If I add a preset manager, I have no idea what to do with it. Where do I hook up things, what goes where etc. I feel lost and just stare at the thing. I can't see how the preset managers I've "studied" pass on useful info to the host. I can't find where the preset manager says "OSC 1 Waveform" or "Filter 1 Cutoff". I can't find how the preset managers are hooked up to the things they're supposed to manage.
I feel right stupid, but I'm sure there's a moment of pure "A-HA" waiting in the near future...

if you use the standart components, std knobs, etc.. just put a preset manager in the module wich makes your VST (most likely the most on top module). You dont have to doe anything with it, it just has to be there in order to give your VST host acces to your parameters. you can save/set the number of the presets that are loaded on plug ins's startup in the preset managers propertys dialog.
