Hello folks.
i noticed some people saying its impossible to automate any NI Vst on FL, so i thought it was, until i found out how.
now, if this is irrelevant, or i misread the thread, feel free to erase the topic Mods!
so here goes:
we'll be automating a Absynth 3, Filter frequency for the 1 Oscillator, on the Envelope tab.
so, open Absynth 3.
choose any sound you want (to automate its Filter Freq, remember, you can use this technique to automate any other channel)
now, go to the Envelope tab.
there, you will see various envelopes, and probably the selected ones will be the Amps for the three oscillators.
so, Deselect the highlighted enveloped, and select Filter 1 Freq (if you dont have this on the list, go to New Env, and the go to Filter 1, and choose the Frequency envelope.
next, open up a MIDI Out channel, anywhere on the Step Sequencer.
after you opened the MIDI Out channel, go back to absynth 3, back to the Filter 1 Freq envelope, and there press anywhere inside the envelope itself (left click, if it doesnt work, press the line itself) a MIDI Channel name will appear on top of the envelope graphs, maybe CC 1, or CC 2 and so on.
you can press it to change it to any channel you want, but for now either leave it at CC 1, or left click it, and choose CC 1.
now, on the top left corner of the Absynth window, press the FL Option button (where you have the presets, Smart disable etc. options)
and go to Browse Parameters.
once you're there, right click CC 1, and press Link to Controller.
when the Link window opens, go to Channel and choose 1 (or whichever, according to your MIDI Out channel, from before, remember?  )
and the controller to 1, and press ok.
now, go back to the MIDI Out window, right click the first knob on the right, and choose CONFIGURE.
then, on Controller choose 1, and next to it (on the right) choose CC 1.
record a simple melody into the Absynth 3 Piano roll, let it play, and start turning that knob around!!!
if that doesnt work, just link the Absynth 3 directly to the MIDI Out by linking their port. (go to absynth 3 window, rollover the green digit on the top right to one, and do the same in PORT inside the MIDI Out window )
thats it folks!
hope this helped anyone, and hope its easy to understand, because i can be such a schmuck with words sometimes...
if you dont understand something, just post and ill answer. simple!
Peace, and long live FL!

you can automate every parameter of any vst, also NI, by clicking on the icon of the wrapper and say "last tweaked parameter - create automationclip/edit events". if i got the post wrong, my post does not exist

Or you can open any VST and in the VST's window, click on the little red plug (top left corner) and select link to controller...

Sorry...just a little off topic here.
Was wondering..can you automate Nord Rack 2.. the red displayed one? The option to 'tweak last parameter' isn't available as well. Anyone know a way?

yeah this is only for VST's Bloodclot...
but there IS a nord rack 2 VST by discovery.
i think if i remember correctly, you do have LAST TWEAKED.
but if you dont than try this my friend.
go to that buttong on top (where u have the options)
and press BROWSE PARAMETERS.
it will open a list of all parameters on the nord rack.
now, just click and turn whatever knob u wanna automate, and it will be highlighted on the list to the left (the parameter list)
now just right click the parameter on the list, and either create an automation clip, or edit its events.
Peace, and hope i helped
