A couple of newbie questions

[elektrofux]

Hello,

since the Reason Rack is going to be a VST soon and i am developing Remote scripts in Reason i am thinking about switching to Bitwig and create some special scripts like i did in Reason (mainly scripting the Sequencers of Reason). The stuff i want to do is pretty plugin specific. So i am not sure if it is at all possible.

1.) Can i for example circumvent the Bank System alltogether and directly access the parameters of a plugin by name or id? For example the Sequencer Page of the Rack Extension Step Note Recorder diplays 32 steps on my launchpad and alot more with some modifier keys.

2.) Can i assign certain parameters to a bank on a plugin by plugin basis from within the script?

3.) Can a bank be bigger than 8 parameters?

4.) Can i access banks directly by number without needing to scroll up and down?

5.) Can i somehow differentiate between different instances of the same Plugin within a script for example via accessing the preset name, or the track that it is on?
