I don't know if this is clear, so pardon me if you already know this, but
there is no difference between custom parameter sets and character key
sets. it's litterally just a Boolean parameter on the custom parameter set
that says to show another icon for them. so that not only means that you

FaceFX is using the exact same voice recognition library as what I
used in FaceRobot. Of course, workflow is more important than voice

You can turn on View->Auto Frame Curve

you need to create an array of parameters with the right types and add
the control on the first parameter. So it's just like the color
