VST Expressions and VST 3.5

Another Glitch:

When you create a fresh MIDI track, all ready with fingers to be creative, and try and select a sound from the Expression Map… ah, you can’t because there is no MIDI part on the track yet.

Quite a show stopper that one. Seems like a variant of the reset on part end problem.

So another feature request would be - allow the selection of an “expression slot” (ie sound) on a track basis, PRIOR to recording any MIDI. Obviously any Expression events in the MIDI tracks would then take over, and hopefully “latch” or better still, be “chased” until the next Expression event, even if that event is in a part that follows empty space on the track.

Please!

All you other VST Expressions users - don’t be shy - let’s hear your thoughts too! Even if it fell flat on it’s face on day one for you (a general pattern it seems), any thoughts would be welcome.

If you’re really against the idea of VST Expression Maps overall, please back up your feelings with an alternate suggestion if you have one!
