    is there anyway to enter numerical values for automation points in the playlist? i find it hard to get precision when i know what i want to enter instead of just eyeballing it which slightly crude.
    thx

    Not an FL user but I have a handful of IL plugins. I don't know about any differences with the playlist, but in the plugs holding the left ALT button will at least snap to the nearest whole value (careful - right ALT+click will delete your automation point, as will left ALT+right-click). I know it's not entering number values but it's something.

    @ Filtersweep,

    As you don't stipulate if you're using an external 'MIDI Controller' to remote some 'FL Studio' functions and/or options, if yes, check the following articles (if not already done !). You'll certainly find interesting work around for the purpose of your quest... :yes:

    This last one can be of great interest for what you're looking for...

    Check the (curves) images at the bottom of the page (and the 'Formulas' to get these)

    And this one is totally devoted to the 'Event Editor' :
