Question: Sorry if asking here bothers you. I created a VST3 plugin with no GUI and set default values for all parameters in the code. In REAPER's generic UI, the sliders initially appear at the correct default positions. However, double-clicking a slider resets it to REAPER's centered default instead of the VST3 parameter's default value. If so, why doesn't REAPER reset to the plugin's actual default values?

there's no way for us to query the default IIRC, and it would be too much work to save it...

couldnt you grab double click values from a preset with a particular name? (default_values or whatever)then the reset values can be anything a user wants

You can get the default value of any VST3 or CLAP parameter via the ParameterInfo struct (VST3) or via "default_value" (CLAP). Details are here: forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=281353
