could automation items have their own FX chain windows? i want them to basically behave like DC audio clips. that way you could use ReaEq to run a low pass filter over modulations, or generate automation using a ring modulator.

FX for automation items is inevitable. So, rather than go into the territory where you're stuck with a proprietary method of filtering automation values, maybe it would be advantageous to build in a little rectifying converter so the user can either straight up generate automation or filter their modulation using ReaComp, ReaEq, or any other third party vst.

So instead of zillions of LUA scripts, just toss in a rectifying algorithm and let people use any plugin they want to freak with their automation items the same way they freak with the much more complex audio waveforms. automation is a dumbed down, rectified audio signal. (basically CV, albeit "MSEG"'d aka vectored)

thanks awesome.
