About two years ago, I was having trouble with Muteomatic, a plugin made by SoundRadix. It worked in other hosts, but it could not get the correct playback status from Waveform. I wrote them about the issue. They looked into it, wrote me back confirming the problem, and suggested that as a temporary solution I could rename Waveform's exe file, "Tracktion."
This morning, after a couple of months of trying to solve Waveform 10's incompatibility with Automap...
W10 Bug Report: Automap Plugin Control is Broken
...I tried applying the same solution to the problem and it seems to have solved the issue. One of the plugs I tested kept crashing, but at least Automap was working on several other plugins I tested.
Somehow, Waveform seems to be misidentify itself to certain plugins. The workaround seems to be working for me, but I hope the Tracktion developers can look into the issue for a definitive solution.

The SoundRadix plugin has nothing to do with Automap. It was not even wrapped by Novation's software.

It's an Automap problem. It scans for .exe files that match what it thinks is supported software. When the DAW changes it's name, it no longer recognizes it. I experienced this when Sonar was rebranded back to Cakewalk. Novation wouldn't address it.

Perhaps, but it is not a problem unique to Automap, and it also seems odd that Automap worked fine with Waveform 9.
