hey Dan,
nah it's not MIDI designer's fault at all. The midi numbers on the Valhalla plugs for the things i used "named ticks" on have weird midi values, so the automatic scaling did not work. I wasn't sure if this was just my own DAW or not, so I wanted to make people aware. The ranges were sometimes things like 9-51 only instead of 0-127, and not always in the order you'd expect. MIDI Designer's named ticks are working great, it's just something on the plugin to be aware of :)
