AU parameter names and units

Hello,

I've got two questions regarding Audio Unit development again, I'm expanding the capabilities of my "diatonic" pitch shifter and I've bumped into two problems.

First I have the precision of my pitch parameters: using the unit "semi-tones" AU Lab displays values like "-0.51" or "0.11" but it chops off any extra digits after that. If I use "cents" AU Lab shows "-51" and "11" but chops off any decimal digits so you do not get any extra precision it seems.

Is there a way to flag the parameter (different unit?) or hint AU Lab to show more digits?

Second, I have parameters named "unison", "minor second", "fourth" and so on to set the pitch per note. It would be very useful to be able to add the absolute note (C, C#, F) to the parameter name, but those depend on the value of the root note. The current parameter layout is like this:

scale root: [ C ], [ C# ], [ D ] ... [ B ]
unison: -1200 ... +1200 Cents
minor second: -1200 ... +1200 Cents
...
major seventh: -1200 ... +1200 Cents

Is there a way to change (multiple) parameter names on the fly?

I've looked into Technical Note TN2104 and the AU Programming Guide, but both talk about parameter values and not parameter names.

Thanks in advance for your help.

With kind regards,

Frank Schoep
