Echobode controls "Reset to Default" and "Enter Exact Value"problem

    Hi
    I've just purchased and licensed Echobode v.1.2.0 (818), running in Reaper 7.27 on Win11 Pro 64-bit.
    Installation and licensing were without problem, the plugin shows in the application as licensed, it processes audio fine and all knobs are controllable manually via mouse.
    But when I right-click on any control knob, "Reset to Default" is greyed-out.
    The exception is when I right-click on the big knob Frequency Shifter, where "Reset to Default" is already checked and cannot be unchecked.
    When I select "Enter Exact Value" on any control knob, the dialog is populated with "params.param.human".
    If I enter a numerical value in that dialog, the knob does not move and does not reset to the default.
    All this happens regardless of whether VST2 or VST3 is used as FX.
    I am using no MIDI and no controls are mapped.
    Any suggestions welcome - this is all a bit odd!

    Reaper 7.27 64-bit, I should have said

    Update: I have now installed the 1.2.0 Echobode trial on a third machine.
    With freshly installed Reaper 7 64-bit DAW, on Win11 Pro 64-bit
    All 3 machines are AMD RYZEN 5 4500U Processors.
    The Echobode controls issue above is reproduced exactly, on a machine with no previous DAW and no other VST plugins.

    Hey, you're one of the very few who have noticed this bug. Sorry for this. We will fix it in an upcoming release, but it has been postponed several times because of changes in the framework and build environment. As soon as we get some of our other projects out of the way, we will unbreak the Echobode build again.

    Meanwhile, you can always control the exact parameter values through your host.

    Thanks for confirming the bug.
    In my sound design (no sync, no MIDI) I work a lot with frequency beats and use very precise frequency and delay etc settings, so this numeric input precision is an outstanding feature of the plug-in.
    Zeroing a control via "Reset to Default" is a constant part of any workflow, so I look forward to the upcoming release and bug fix!
    OK, thanks, great to see I really can "Enter Exact Value" in Reaper, WYSIWYG, via automation envelope points, specially for the Frequency Shifter itself. Very useful feature, if only all VSTs did this...
    Echobode really is one of the most powerful sonic tools I use.
