What would you like to do with such presets? It doesn't strike me as very useful.

However, that would be very helpful to midi-learn parameters in fx plugins.
Not quite sure what you're after, but plugin instrument can receive MIDI only.

Okay. Let's go.
First: why Automation presets? You mean for stuff like faking LFO Waves for example?
Sines, Triangles, all that good stuff? Complex Modulation curves?
Or you really want us to pencil-in every time everything from scratch? Pretty sadistic..
Especially Multi-Point envelopes are quite difficult to pencil in.
(Envelopes that are not Point A to Point B in a linear fashion. Very **unnatural** sounding automation...
Pretty much work every time, isn't it? Usually, no one uses linear automation.
That's why major DAWs have options for Bezier/expo/log curves usually since decades.
(I have to admit that MTS is extremely outdated in terms of automation in general.)
Second: I am talking about Midi Thru on the **Slot** of the MTS/AUi/VSTi Instrument.
Which means, that a filter plugin that is in slot 2 can MIDI-learn CC messages...
That would help to overcome the shortcomings of MTS automation-wise because we could Midi-learn
a parameter on a FX-plugin and then record the CCs in real-time. In my book a big advantage, but you might
see that from a different perspective...
You would just need to enable receive-Midi on all insert slots on a track, that's it. Automation recording problem solved.
(You know, Midi-Thru like on a hardware Synth? Basically, you chain another Synth right behind it. So you can
set the first to Midi Channel 1 and the second to midi channel 2. And the first one lets Midi "Thru".
But I am sure you know that, or don't you?
Thanks & best,
