[Need to begin with a bit of background info...]
Recently i've had to move several instruments/layers from inside one [large] plugin slot/instance of a VSTi that i use (called Engine2 - the TITAN synth library) -- into several smaller, multiple instances of Engine2, which are now loaded into a handful of plugin slots. Because for some reason, having 10 or so instruments (each on it's own MIDI channel) running into one instance of Engine2, and combined with several individual PC/PCs Events for said instruments; whilst also of course running with several similarly-set PLAY instruments -- well, all that causes massive latency. Anyway, in troubleshooting the fix for the latency issues, it occurred to me to group like instruments and parameter events together into their own plugin slot (ie: instance of Engine2) -- and (so far) the latency is fixed... HOWEVER... in then going back to modify all of the individual PC/PCs Events throughout the track, i discovered that the FIND dialog does not allow one the option to select to search for a PCE's variable data coinciding to a particular plugin slot. For example -- i would love to be able to search for a PC/PCs event for plugin # 2 using parameter number 77 -- because i know i've assigned a host control 0000077 for the particular Engine2 layer i'm working on moving to a new instance/plugin slot.... and in other words, i need to find the PC/PCs event strings in the patterns and change the plugin parameter from a 2 to a 3. Currently, to do such requires visually scanning the entire length of the module, pattern by pattern, and channel by channel.. just to make sure i don't miss any parameter tweaks which should now point to the new plugin instance...! <sigh> Does this make sense? And/or am i just missing something blatently..? ;)
