Where is "Record Parameter Changes"?

"record parameter changes"

im feeling very stupid now (and old.)

i cant find this.

does this make me able to record when i change anything in a vst synth f.e?

as in , the melody is playing and i mess with the modwheel (or something) and the tracker automates "pc" commands for me?

or do i need to do everything manually and have i misunderstood?

(cause this option is giving me a boner.)

i did, still not quite getting it.

i just use a pc command? or midi macro?

You open the pattern editor, you open the plugin editor, check "Record Parameter Changes", and if the plugin supports automation (most of them do, but not all), it will write any parameter changes you do via the plugin GUI into the pattern as \xx (IT) or PC Events (MPTM). To confirm whether it's a plugin-specific issue, please check if you can record parameter changes using Synth1, because I just tested that one right now and it works.

thanks dude, that seems much more understandable.

im not on the specific puter now (its offline.) but i will check later and get back to you.

Synth1 is pretty much the most-used free virtual analog synth.
