So I'm trying to misuse a VST in my DAW, Reaper, for musical things. Basically I want to be able to write to and read from different files using VSTs.
The VST I'm using has a string option (which gets saved and restores using presets). I want to look under the hood a bit to see what is going to see if I can do what I want.
Is it possible to get a list of presets from the VST -VST; or does a VST just output raw "data" for presets that can't be understood. Also? Also what is the relationship between presets and midi automation -automation; is every parameter in a VST settable from your DAW? I found a bunch of preset ini.ini files in reaperReaper, but they seemed to just contain binary data.

- I found this thread https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=114458this thread that is using the reaper apiReaper API to set parameters and also an API.
- There is a UI control in the FX painpane in reaper, which shows sliders instead of the graphical interface. However, string values don't seem to be there.
