Hi
It will be great to have an bool (int?) VST Parameter . The problem is that the regular switch appears as standard knob (0-1 range) in the automation list in cubase .

i do not see the problem, if your control outputs only 0 and 1 it does not matter if you store it as int float or bool, so you can treat the vst param float input just as if it were a boolean.

This is a big problem...for me
If the user wants to add the automation with a mouse he will see it as a full range knob.(can be confusing)
and if you will record the automation.
Some of the data is interpolated by the host so one click will lead to a ramp instead of pulse.
simply try to make automation on a switch it don't get it right.

VST parameters are always stored as float. Live with it.
If you don't want to have your users see the float value you might want to have a closer look at the "Disp" input of the VSTPara primitve. And maybe consult the manual. Maybe page 259 of the Component Reference manual would be a good starting point.

That was the last place I visited before I came to the Ideas and Requests forum. If this is something that cant be done , I will "Live with it".

Yeah, I just double checked, even the plug-ins included in Cubase have this problem. The only automation parameters which show "bool" character when changed via mouse are non-plug-in settings like enable/disable of things or mute. Maybe the new VST3 interface offers some more possibilities (haven't had the time to check), but as long as SynthMaker is VST2.3 that wouldn't help anyway.
