Parameter #1, I hate you!

after tidying up an effect for release I noticed an automation parameter called simply "Selector".

I had no idea where the hell this may have come from, so using the brute force method, deleted everything from the OSM and exported it again - intending to add the items one by one to narrow down the offending automation parameters container.

but.

Even in the now nearly empty OSM (a VST containg only containing mono ins, mono outs .. a midi input)

now, with the preset manager removed it calls itself "Parameter #1".

why is this thing haunting me? 😕

so, in an annoying bump manouver

does anyone else get haunted by this mysterious automated parameter which comes from nowhere?

I just exported the empty VST module from SM and I have one parameter called '---' in eXT. Presumably SM defaults to having a minimum of one parameter when you export to VST?

yes, but even when I have all my parameters in place in a completed VST effect, I still have this extra (mysterious) one. It calls itself "Selector" when you have a preset manager in place.

Odd, maybe its a bug then. I thought perhaps SM automatically had a minimum of one parameter to prevent you having zero incase it wasn't allowed in the VSTSDK but I just checked 4Front Bass and that has zero parameters.
