Default Parameter linking - temp bypass the link when touching the parameter/knob.

47 seconds - easy to understand video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvR0nB68eyI

Official FR thread: http://forum.cockos.com/project.php?issueid=2272
______________________

First many thanks again for adding the internal parameter linking to reaper, it is extremely powerful tool for morphing parameters all together.

There is one unpleasant behaviour in this side - that is the linked parameters are being totally locked to the controllers (can't move them once they are linked.)


Request: *Temporary Hidden Bypass* for linked parameter that being touched.(**hidden bypass, not something that the user need to see)

how can it work:

Reference: FLstudio, Bidule.

When touching a linked parameter, the link is being bypassed/released untill pressing stop/play..., when pressing play or stop, the link will automatically back in sync (the linked parameter will be controllable by the other parameter again after pressing stop/play)

I did a video demostration to show how it works in FL and Reaper currently, Bidule also work like FL and few more hosts/apps): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuqxuGlM-fI


a bit more technical details:
we have:
- Linked/controlled parameter
- Controller

there are 2 situations for temporarily bypass link: (each situation has a bit different settings for the relinking)

1. song is playing - If linked parameter is being touched while song IS PLAYING, temporarily bypass the link untill pressing STOP. (*STOP = link again, but DON'T SYNC the tweaked data according to the controller's value UNTIL moving the controller or pressing stop again or pressing play)

2. song is not playing - If linked parameter is being touch while song IS NOT PLAYING, temporarily bypass the link untill pressing STOP or PLAY. (*STOP or PLAY = LINK AGAIN and SYNC the tweaked data according to the controller's value)


Benefits:
Useful for quick testing ideas and fine tuning tests on the flow regarless the envs/pm/plinks etc, so there is need to bypass lots of links manually just to check few tweaks... (for everyone)

Sync between controllers to the plugin's presets with "copy input parameters" (more advanced)


Important note: this isn't just for parameter linking, but also for all the automation/parameter modulation stuff that lock the parameter.

This is similar to a request I made for an automation bypass mode, like in reason

http://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=51297

The problem is that when you assign an envelope to a parameter, you can no longer move that parameter on the plugin, it is locked to the envelope. A temporary automatic override like in reason would solve that, and I think it could be adjusted to solve your problem too.

manually "bypass ALL parameters modulations(incl: evn, links...) for the selected plugin" button/action could be useful too.

I think that could be as simple as an additonal tick box in the track grouping, when ticked each track linked can see each others parameters, this would open up all kinds of easy side chaining


(you should add that to the voting FR?)

This is so unpleasant when a knob is unmovable when it has a link... :X

Here is how it works in BIDULE (and many other plugins hosts) vs how it works in REAPER currently

Did I write too much or something? is the point of this request is clear enough? (my bad English ?)

ps - this behaviour is very important for my plugins to be fully functional.

Bumping this thread as I find myself wishing for a kind of Parameter Modulation "soft link". Presently when I change FX presets, linked parameters stay stuck to whatever they're linked to. It'd be great if one could optionally choose the behavior you get when using MIDI Learn (controller moves parameter, but so does preset change and mouse).

Old thread but it's been 9 years since this was requested and I think it would be a welcome feature.
