[Rwp] setting fx parameters for an fx in a split item.

[Patrick Perdue]

Yeah, it is annoying, especially now that Reaper offers the ability to 
natively automate item fx parameters in version 5.x, but I guess that 
part hasn't been exposed to the API.
My solution for this is usually to create a dummy track, configure an 
effect chain using live input or a temporary item, then apply the chain 
to the item after it has been set up the way I like it so as to avoid 
using another track.
Sometimes, though, depending on the effect used, it's just easier to use 
another track, with or without effect automation, depending on needs at 
the time.

You can, of course, use the native plugin UI in a track or item just the 
same, but it's often much faster to use exposed automated parameters on 
a track through OSARA. Plus, some plugins do weird things if you use the 
generic UI, so I generally tend to keep that turned off. I'm thinking 
specifically of the Plogue stuff, I.E. Chipspeech and Sforzando. I 
assume Chipsound would do the same, but I don't have it.
