In Cubase, after inserting the Monster Sax plugin, you have to open the automation lane (I’m using Monster Synth as the example):
In Studio One, go to the Piano Roll and add the parameters to automate (I’m using Monster Synth as the example):
In other DAWs, find a way/to Google on how to add automation lanes/tracks.
FAQ About Monster Sax
Q : I want XXX and YYY features of Monster Sax, can you program it?
A : To be honest, I’m a professional musician and audio educator BUT I’m not a professional plugin programmer. I do this just for fun, so your request may not be available (but you can always try to ask me via the CONTACT page).
Q : Why there are no VST 32-bit versions anymore?
A : In the past, I made a 32-bit version of my VST. But now my programming software CAN’T output 32-bit plugin anymore, so I’m not providing 32-bit.
Q : I have a problem using this plugin on my Mac, I’m using Monterey/Big Sur/Catalina. It says that the files are damaged or can’t be opened because the developer is not trusted.
A : That problem was caused by Mac OS security which is now very strict. I have applied for a developer account in Apple to be a trusted developer but they haven’t responded to my inquiry yet.
In the meantime, please watch these videos (If this is not working, it’s ok, you can pass my VSTs ?):

it would be great if there was an option for GUI resize on your plugins. & not to keen on links or pictures in the plugins! but they sound pretty good.
My plugin has been hosted by crack/warez sites everywhere with viruses planted (bad people exist in this world) so that link is really important for users to know that they get it from untrusted source.
As the 2nd comment, the GUI resize thing, if I have that in my programming software, I’ll definetely use it but no, my software programming doesn’t have that feature.
Hi,
Not bad at all.
On your next update, maybe find a way to control vibrato.
Other than that it’s a good sounding vst.
Thank you ! I will think about that vibrato thing, again thanks for the suggestion !
Hello does this work on Mojave? I am trying to add it to my aka Mpc 2.11.9 software but in the sax library folder there is only a Devian Zikri.mse file
All you have to do is read the 5 steps on how to install on this page, you missed it ????
Will this work on ventura soon?
I’m now on old Catalina, can you tested this? I think it will work
Does this work with mpc software? I’ve downloaded it and put it in my plugin/component folder and downloaded the library to but nothing seems to to make it appear in my daw.
I’m not familiar with MPC software. What MPC software that you use? Is it MPC Beats or what ?
If I’m correct, MPC support VST3 dan only Windows so have you download the correct plugin (Windows VST2 or VST3 but not the Component) ?
I’ve scanned my Mac over and over and get cannot get it to load. Is this incompatible with Big Sur?
Yes it’s compatible. But as a developer, Apple haven’t approve my request as trusted developer so Mac will think my file is malware.
In this page, at the FAQ section, there are some workaround, please try to follow those.
Sorry for the inconvinience ????????
Best Sax plugin I have heard so far. Congrats to that great job! Were can I leave a little contribution (to be honest 10 bucks monthly are too much for me)? Cheers from Vienna and keep being creative!
Hi Lutz, I feel you and thanks for being honest.
You can contribute by spreading info of this plugin to your friends. This will be enough for me.
Thanks for willingness to donate ????????
