Here is the dirt simplest way. Just install a cache between the parameters

public static class FmodFix  
{  
private static Dictionary\<string, byte[]\> StringTable = new Dictionary\<string, byte[]\>();  
public static byte[] Encode(string name)  
{  
byte[] results;  
if (!StringTable.TryGetValue(name, out results))  
{  
results = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(name + Char.MinValue);  
StringTable[name] = results;  
}  
return results;  
}

}

```
    public RESULT setParameterValue(string name, float value)
    {
        return FMOD_Studio_EventInstance_SetParameterValue(rawPtr, FmodFix.Encode(name), value);
    }
```
