I dont seem to be able to automate the lfo amp using live 7 or logic 8.
Does anyone know if it can It done?

The easiest way would probably be to map LFO amp to an X-Y control.

Another way might be to use a ModMixer; it would be on 'scale by constant', the LFO you want to use should be one mod source and the others empty, and anywhere the LFO was used, replace with the ModMixer. The MMix constant then becomes essentially an amp control for the LFO, and should be automatable.

There might be a complicated way too; on OS X there's a config file in /Library/App Support/U-He that I think can be modified to add or remove parameters visible by the plug-in host.

???? Can't you learn a MIDI CC for that knob? Works here (tested for LFO1 in Logic8).

Why the indirect route?

In my world Midi CC is not the same as Daw automation.
Also, CC is 128 steps, automation can be finer than that. (if you really always need that resolution is another question... :wink: )

I recommed that too. MIDI CC is destructive, just like automation. XYs are non-destructive, just double click (sets the ball to center) and you're back to the original sound.

Furtherly, the influence/depth of the XYs can be constrained for each situation, which might make automation a tad easier.

Also, you can MIDI learn the XYs and have a different set of automations for each patch, with just 8 knobs.

now that is really cool. I did not know that (but I don't know much anyway. ha!)

MIDI CC and host automation aren't really destructive: just reload the preset and you're back to the original sound. The reason I prefer host automation in general is that most synths report their parameter values to Logic in meaningful units, so instead of setting Pad 3 X to 40%, you can set a filter cutoff in Hz.
If you like 80s retro sounds, check out my latest tune…

Does anyone know where this stuff would be on windows?
