Nice… MIDI CC Support/Learn is a biggie

Not really with Cantabile - you can use bindings to control any VST parameter, so I don’t really need a plugin to understand CCs directly. In fact, I prefer VST parameters, since Cantabile can read their current state and deal with them intelligently (toggle, feedback).

The real problem are plugins that don’t expose their parameters (or only a subset) via VST parameters. Fortunately, it looks like OB-xd exposes all params via VST.

Just my 0.02 EUR…

Well maybe so but Cantabile isn’t my whole universe… I use Cakewalk and oher DAWs as well. And it’s nice to say “learn”, turn a knob on a controller and go.
