Will get even easier in the new software version!

I am not sure, maybe HHaynes will chime in, he'll know for sure. I think I read that the locators work with Nuendo but not with Cubase in that software version. I am sure this will be solved.

To be honest I would use a mouse to edit many plugins and grab one of the active controls when I need to automate or tune something in by feel with my eyes shut etc.[*]Some plugins provide a nice value in the DAW (say in %) but the Tango sometimes displays the parameter in numbers like 0.4678 - PSP Nitro for example. Again ears not eyes.
What you see with the PSP plugins, is because of the crossplatform coding of those plugins. (what values do you see on the automation lanes in Cubase? In Logic, it's also those weird values, which don't match the GUI, and this is what you see on the controller.) Waves is also a mess. But it's up to PSP and Waves to solve this. Actually the new PSP EQ's don't have this 'problem'. Maybe they took notice after I mailed them.
