Re: Third-party soft synths in PT?
I actually used a control surface to map out RMX a few years ago. It took vision and a lot of time. But it could be done. If you got someone to MIDi learn some of the basic functions of RMX to a really good control surface, you might be okay. but you would definitely need a lot of sighted help initially.

Re: trying to automate plugins
Dave, Make sure all of your plug-in’s parameters are selected for automation. You can hold down the three modifier keys and click to toggle all of them on and off. Or go setup-preferences-mixing-automation, and check plug-in controls default to auto-enable. This way when you open a session all of the plug-in parameters are automatically set. Just know some parameters are not automatable, but most are. Hope this helps.

Still, for the price of one second hand, they're a neat tool to have at your disposal.
