______________________
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):

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.
