No, but it should be very simple, the programmer needed like 5 minutes for
the first version (seems to be some default thing in the VST SDK) and
another 10 to add some smoothing and program individual versions for
mono/stereo purposes.
I'm sure Merlijn (the programmer) would gladly give out the source coude
though. merlijn@...

For the PC folks, it's here: www.saschafranck.de/4helpers.zip - included are
a mono and a stereo version plus one simple temposyncing panner (that I use
quite a bit) and a syncing tremolo (that I used before LA5's new tremolo
came up).

GM (or even MIDI) standard for Resonance and Cutoff control. And while the
ES1 follows these conventions the EXS doesn't... uhm!

My opinion on all these issues is that ANY virtual instrument should allow
ANY CC to ANY parameter routing, using some learn/adjust routine. A perfect
example of what things should be like is rgcaudio's Pentagon
(www.rgcaudio.com, sorry, PC only, Windows folks should get the demo
IMMEDIATELY, and while you're there, get the free Triangle II as well,
awsome monophonic freebie for basses and leads!) which not only is one of
the best sounding virual analogs around (plus it's a brilliant vocoder too)
but also has the best and easiest to use CC implementation, it even writes
tweaked data to both the old and new automation, something not even Emagics
own synths are being able to do, no matter how hard you fool around with
transformers.
