Yes, you can automate all the knobs and sliders via MIDI controllers. The 
chart is in the manual and on the site.

Hi Eric,

Why can't we access it through Logic's new automation mechanism?

Hi Smeet,

Because every zone has a complete synthesis engine that can be recalled by 
the plug-in. Remeber that the engine that Stylus uses is more advanced than a 
simpler device like the EXS-24. Full recall on zone editing means that with 
Stylus you can have over 1000 parameters in a Stylus patch, Logic can't 
handle this many parameters to automate in a plug-in in an easy to manage way 
and it's also really cumbersome to handle on our end to do it that way....so 
you basically get real-time MIDI control over the sliders instead of the 
parameters themselves (make sense?)

That said, in the future, we'll see if there's another workaround to be able 
to use Logic's automation (I like using Logic automation too). For now, you 
can do everything in a very similar way by using Hyperdraw on MIDI 
controllers.

Thanks Eric, that makes sense.
