43. Specific plugin settings
Very rarely, some plugins do not strictly follow the VST protocol and may behave slightly different than expected.
Some Roland VST3 plugins do not produce sound on Windows. VST2 works as expected.
The problem happens when Automap is enabled.
Juno 60, Juno106, TR-909, TB-303, XV-5080 VST3 have a set of CC parameters which when these get linked, it stops producing audio.
To work around this, Disable Automap and load the VST3 plugin.
Then use either Link or Link Multiple or Link Groups to link the parameters you want and save it as a preset.
Load that preset and should be ok with the parameters you want linked.

For better compatibility and parameter syncing use VST2 or VST3 instead of AU.
Plugin Alliance VST3 plugins in Ableton Live on Windows
Depending on graphics drivers and system setup, the UI of plugins may not sync when turning encoders (although the value changes) because of a design flaw in PA plugins. The problem occurs without the MP Host as well. This is well a known issue with PA plugins and Ableton Live on Windows. VST2 plugins in Live still get parameter change callbacks that are tied more directly to UI updates so that is why they work.

If Ozone's UI is not showing correctly use the "Windows Unified" option from the right click menu.
