# AUParameterAddress

A numeric identifier for an audio unit parameter.

## Declaration

```swift
typealias AUParameterAddress = UInt64
```

## Discussion

Discussion Parameter addresses are not necessarily persistent, unless the individual audio unit promises to maintain its addressing scheme. Hosts should bind to parameter key paths instead of parameter addresses.
