It has been like this for as long as I can remember: When I insert a ZASFX plugin instance in a Qtractor session, gone is the joy I have editing my session files, because all the ZADSFX entries are messed up: the "<" character is represented by its ASCII entity: "<" and it make even my Emacs choke: scrambles the formatting, the syntax highlight, the indentation, everything. The right chevron is OK.Looks like this: (...) <plugins> <plugin type="LV2"> <filename>http://zynaddsubfx.sourceforge.net</filename> <index>0</index> <label>ZynAddSubFX</label> <preset></preset> <direct-access-param>-1</direct-access-param> <activated>1</activated> <configs> <config key="urn:distrho:state"> <?xml version="1.0f" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE ZynAddSubFX-data> <ZynAddSubFX-data version-major="2" version-minor="5" version-revision="4" ZynAddSubFX-author="Nasca Octavian Paul"> <INFORMATION /> <BASE_PARAMETERS> (...) I hate to be the "Sales dept guy in the tech open-space" but surely /this doesn't sound like something that would be that hard to fix/ (tm) ;p Oh, and it doesn't cause any other problem that I can think of, BTW. But still. Phil PS - ZynAddSubFx is, despite everything, the coolest synth I worked with, by far. I want to warmly thank everybody that made using it in Qtractor possible, guys, you are heroes of mine. PPS -Is there any plans to have (at least some of) its controls automatable? I asked this in a whisper because I want it so bad it's ridiculous :p
uh oh... maybe it's the distrho implementation lv2_state to blame? maybe a lv2::string is being reported (by disthro), and then qtractor's xml parser (qt xml/dom) just escapes the state as bland xml::cdata aka. POD (plain old data)?
otoh. zynaddsubfx is a dang complicated contraption... i doubt it will ever have any subset (yes, tiny subset) of parameters that may have any reasonable automatable capabilities, besides, of course, the nominal ones: read channel volume, panning, modulation, filter cutoff and reso, regular effect-sends, like chorus and reverb. and that is already plenty overwhelming to address from the plugin pov. (no matter it's vst or lv2 we're talking). from a host's stand point, it gets what it gets, nothing else. yoshimi might have an edge over there, but still, you get what you get :)
