FX chains in X2a vs. VS-700

I tried to dig into using the new FX chain / ProChannel functionality from X2a, but had to realize that this is yet another new feature that probably never was developed for / tested with the VS-700.
 
Not really usable from the VS-700, you've got to keep your finger on the mouse Hence, I filed 2 problem reports. 
 
FYI, to spare you the same wasted effort ...
 
CWBRN-16181
Summary: FX chain parameter cannot be properly adjusted from VS-700 Channel Strip Control
Description:
1. Insert a "FX chain" into an FX bin and try to control parameters from VS-700 Channel Strip Control
2. Alternatively, insert a "FX chain" into the ProChannel and try to control parameters from VS-700 Channel Strip Control
Expected Results:
- if inserted in FX bin:
  + all parameters seen on FX chain GUI (6 knobs, 6 buttons) must be controlable from the VS-700 Channel Strip Control section
  + knobs must be assigned to VS-700 rotaries
  + buttons must be assigned to VS-700 buttons
  + the order must be identical to what is on the screen
  - if inserted into ProChannel the same is expected
Actual Results:
- if inserted in FX bin:
  + some parameters are controlable, but when new ones are added to FX chain, they are NOT available to the ACT control unless Sonar is restarted
  + the order of ACT assignment does not follow the order on the FX chain GUI
  + if the ordering of knobs is changed in the GUI, the ACT mapping does not update
  + some knobs get assigned to rotaries (no proper control possible!) and some buttons to rotaries
- if inserted in the ProChannel, the same happens only even more screwed; some parameters are exposed to the EQ control section, but terribly messed and not usable !
 
CWBRN-16180
Summary: Cannot insert Fx Chains from VS-700
Description:
1. Follow steps on page 74 "Controlling Plug-ins from the VS-700C Console" of the VS-700 manual
2. Try to insert "Fx chain"
 
Expected Results:
"Fx Chains" should show as regular plugins do; inserting should work in the same way.
Actual Results:
"Fx Chains" are not appended to list of regular plugins do; inserting "Fx chains" is not possible from VS-700, only via mouse.

    Very nice what you're doing freefly, that really help all of us and think it's worth mentionning.

    I would gladely contribute but I'm still waiting for my desk to be complete and my interface to get back... still no news by the way...
