FR: Allow automation of nested composer's automation parameters / modulation pins

Currently you can add a nested composer to MuLab's composer to send MIDI data to it.
However when adding an automation sub-track for this nested composer you cannot target the automation parameters of the composer or its input pins.

It would be awesome to be able to target and automate a nested composer's:
- automation parameters (MP1...MP128)
- exposed modulation input pins
- eventually sub modules and values / pins of the structure below the nested composer

Essentially a nested composer can then be used like an instrument with automaton targets.

That's possible. If composer X contains composer Y then composer X can automate composer Y's meta-parameters as well as all parameters of all modules inside composer Y.

So i'm not sure what you mean. Pls elaborate.

This issue seems to be a duplicate for another FR I had.

Obviously MuLab already CAN do what I want - you simply can't select all possible targets from the target selection window. Most of the targets are missing there! Via drag+drop you can do it! And interestingly AFTER you have dragged+dropped a param from a module the rest of this module's params automagically appear as selectable targets.

So it's only a matter of adding ALL already possible targets to their fullest into the target selector window :tu:

Please send a screenshot or screenvideo that shows what you mean.

Sure, will do it on Monday eventually. I am on the road ATM. :phones:
But it's simple to reproduce. Add a composer. In that composer add another composer. And add a "Constant Modulator".
In the outer composer add a track with the generic "Add Track". Then select he target with "Choose Target Module". You can't reach:
- the nested composer's MP1...MP128
- the constant modulator's value (you can somehow add it but the mapping is broken)

Doing both via drag+drop works.

There are more cases. And I had one where a full structure was hidden and appeared after dropping in the first value. Not sure how I did that :?:

A track can only be connected to a target module, not to a module parameter.
When a track is connected to module X it can contain automation clips to any parameter of module X. The easiest way to create an automation clip is to drag-drop the parameter on a relevant track.

An alternative way is when a track is connected to module X you can also right-click the track and choose "Add Automation Sub-Track". This simply creates a new sub-track for that same module X (or sub-module), with a new automation clip for the chosen parameter of module X (or sub-module). It's still possible to also put other clips for that module X on that track.

Tracks are very flexible. The only thing that defines/restricts/specializes a track is its target module. You can put anything onto any track as long as it is relevant to that track's target module.

Hope this clarifies things.

Thank you for your explanation :tu:
