It can't be that hard to add a small check function to either sweep or ladspa that provides this sentence: " Name of parameter: Min = , Max = , increments by factor of " Of course this is only a suggestion to remind people of the sane limits. If they want to set the parameters higher and lower than the logical bounds then no one would stop them.

I still think there is scope for this but not until I/we figure out what it should say, how it should be presented. The only reason for it is to save people the time of finding out the limits of a setting. Does the filter gui already save the previous settings? Perhaps we could even allow the user to save multiple versions of the same filter with different names even? -- Patrick Shirkey - Manager Boost Hardware.
