Hey Floyd,
You're most welcome.
You should read the lesson in the CakeTalking tutorial regarding the
Inspector. There may be times where you'll have to disable some items that
are shown there so you'll have room to display the assignable controls for
the plug you're working with. . This work-around is wonderful, provided the
plug has these controls in the first place. Otherwise you're pretty much out
to lunch accessing parameters - etc. The only other option you have is to
get help from a sighted person you trust who knows a little something about
what you're working with; or if that person's not near you to be able to
help you one on one, then you could use something like Teamviewer to have
somebody connect to your computer and help you from there. I've had to do
this to get access to the various parameters in the Kontakt libraries I use.
It seems to work quite well; and it's far better than being stranded without
immediate options for you to get the results you want.
Back to the Inspector: Once you've turned it on and are focused in it, Go to
the FX sub-menu and check the option to show assignable controls. Keep in
mind that only four controls will be displayed at a time, assuming you don't
have a lot of other controls being displayed. You just need to press Enter
to uncheck the ones you don't need to deal with so you'll have room for the
ones you want to work with. After that, it's a matter of using your value
keys in CakeTalking to change whatever control you're focused on. To access
other controls in the plug, you'll have to reassign one of those four
controls to a different one. You do that by focusing on a control; then hit
your applications key to bring up a menu where you'll need to scroll up or
down until you come to an item that says reassign control. Hit Enter; then
you should be presented with a list of controls to choose from. Simply hit
Enter again, and that control will be assigned to the control you're focused
on. Once you're done doing this, turn off the Inspector so you don't
accidentally save a project with it turned on - unless you want it that way.
Also, be aware that you most likely won't have access to presets from within
the plug itself. Some folks have managed to create hot spots for some plugs.
I'm sure that there are some great presets that come with them, but all is
not lost though as you can create your own and save them as a Sonar preset
associated with the plug. It's only my opinion, but I generally like
creating my own presets, so it's no big deal that I can't access the ones
from within a plug.
I don't know if anybody's tried to create HSC sets for any of the Waves
plugs; it definitely would be a good thing if there were. I'm sure there are
folks who would love to have access to them. I would imagine though that it
would take some doing with a good many of these plugs as you'd probably have
to have sighted assistance to do it, assuming it can be done in the first
place.
Hope this helps you.
Mike

Wow, you know, I never had much luck with the inspector. I have not
tried that with ct 8.8 etc though.
I'm going to give this a try.
Good fun,
Thanks,
Floyd...
