I just checked. Only the Speed knob auto-selects the corresponding automation lane in Live. However, I can manually select probably everything else, by the looks of it, and it seems to work fine when I draw some lines. Recording automation by turning knobs with the mouse also seems to work.

There’s probably something buggy going on. Touching a knob should auto-select the automation lane in Live.

This is fixed in the latest version (grab the update from your account)

Same here, not tempted by the synths but the modules from Toybox are great.

That's quite awesome to give the free upgrade, thank you! One question: is the preset file in downloads a 2.0 upgrade or is it the original?
Edit: nevermind, I just installed v2 and the presets work fine. Great work on the color scheme btw. I didn't mind the brighter colors much but this is nice. Will check other improvements later. Ta!

As a big fan of fm-synths, I am surprised to see a dev not offering a trial or demo version.
First everyone wants to find out whether he likes the sound and workflow with the synth and then also wants to know beforehand whether plugin runs on his system.
Well, bought a different fm synth instead
