How to access 'non-automatable' parameters in a AU/VST in MATLAB with `loadAudioPlugin()`?

Hi everyone,

I'm currently creating a test-suite for a plugin I'm working on, but there are non-automatable parameters (i.e. not exposed to the VST/AU parameter API, so do not show up in MATLAB). Is there any way to open the interface/GUI of the plugin to make tweaks before I run my tests or is this not possible?

Any other ideas are very welcome!

Thanks in advance,

Jamie

Hi Jamie,

The ability to display the plugin's custom GUI is not currently available. If you'd like to share what's your affiliation and very small summary of your use-case, I will create or amend the request to add this feature in a future release.

Hi Jimmy

We are looking to be able to test non-automatable parameters in our plugins. This could be by pausing the script, opening the gui, editing the parameters (or loading a preset), closing the gui and the script continuing.

Otherwise a way to be able to load DAW-like session data to instances would be great.

Best,

Jamie

If it's for testing a plugin that you are developping, I wonder if using OSC/UDP would work (having MATLAB send UPD messages to the plugin, to a "debugging" side-channel).
