Back in iPlug / wdl-ol, there was a function you could could call from **GetParam** where you could set the shape / scale of the parameter. Is there a way to do this in iPlug2, or would I need to do it manually?  
Thanks!

You set the shape when you construct the parameter - it can’t be changed afterwards - if you look at the constructor you should find what you need.
