Hi Chi, Yep, the Click plug-in's parameters don't work well right now. That's certainly on the list of things to tackle. Incidentally, the parameters are accessible with a control surface. So, for example, to access triplets and accent values, etc., the encoder knobs or faders in flip mode will control those parameters and it's possible to save those settings as presets for future use.
The clip indicators are working fine. Make sure you have your preferences set to hold clip indicators and you should be good to go. The subject of preset browsing in the plug-in window is clearly a much larger issue and, regardless of its accessibility, I'm not sure that it's going to necessarily change any time soon. Surely, it's much more of an issue for virtual instruments and one size doesn't fit all so I wouldn't expect Avid to come up with any solution that'll be right for every developer. Plug-in accessibility, in general, is an important issue and its model might have to change entirely for it to be viable for the long term. We'll all keep trying until we get it right.
