Avoid sending parameter values to host

Hi,

in the host FL Studio 8 (for example) the parameter values of a SM-plugin appear in the top of the program.

That's okay, but buttons with strange values also send stuff to this display...

How can i hide the parameters for some controls?

Thanks!

Hide the values from the user? Might need a small screenshot to understand better.

For example: You use Valsier (a SM-made-synth) and control the Bend... the parameter values are sent to the host... just look in the left corner above:

I think if you ensure any controls you don't want appearing aren't automated (untick Auto in the controls Properties) then the host wouldn't have any way to know what the controls value is. Though the control obviously couldn't then be automated... I don't think there's any way to selectively hide the values unless the host has some function to do this (would be surprised, a pretty esoteric feature... 🙂)

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
