How about a macro type control setup similar to the rack in ableton live or the macros in NI massive where you can assign multiple automation parameters to one control that goes from 1 to 100. Then each of those parameters have their own depth ranges assigned to them ( so for example 2 EQ frequency nodes…one goes from 500hz to 100 hz and the other node goes from 1500hz to 500hz…but each are just 1 to 100 on the macro control.) this would help with 3rd party VSTs having a finite amount of space in the automation lane in Cubase. Trying to automate an iztope EQ in the automation lane from 200hz to 500hz gives you about 10 pixels of room in the automation lane…even if you zoom in all the way!
