Is PatchWork the product I need?

Sorry if this question is a bit involved, hopefully you will understand what I'm asking.

Let's say I have a MIDI controller which has sliders for Attack/Decay/Sustain/Release which output fixed MIDI CCs.

I want to use this controller to control the ADSR of various VST soft synths, which can be automated, but don't accept MIDI CCs.

Am I right in thinking I could load one of these soft synths into PatchWork and configure PatchWork to convert the incoming MIDI CCs to automation to control the soft synth's ADSR, and then save all of that as a PatchWork preset so I can use it again in future?

Am I right in thinking I could do the same thing with a different soft synth on a different track, saving this as a different PatchWork preset, and then I'd be able to switch my MIDI controller from one track to the other in my DAW, and be able to control the ADSR of whichever soft synth is on the active track (inside of PatchWork)?

Yes, you can indeed do that using macro parameters: they can be controlled by MIDI and will update one or more parameters of the virtual instruments that have been mapped.

Thanks BCA! Too late, I bought it thanks to the excellent demo programme :) It does exactly what I needed. I think it's amazing.
