Automation gurus please repond!

I am using Amplitube 3 inside X1 producer, how to i set the auotmation inside of sonar to turn on effects pedals inside amplitube at certain points in the song, i know how to set it up inside amplitube but for some reason sonar is not reading it right. thanks in advance

Right click on image to open (ina another tab) a larger image.

Get the automation dialog by pressing the AUTO button in lower right.

Then you draw an automation envelope on that parm on that looks like this.

For visual purposed I did not raise the envelope all the way to the top (which is 100 "unmuted") bu that is what you would do.

What bapu is suggesting is drawing in the automation. Just insert a node (double-click) and drag it to the top to turn the effect on, or drag it to the bottom to turn the effect off. You may also have to right-click on the envelope between the nodes and select "Jump".

Further clarification (see post directly above)... it seems that I get about 1 minute after opening the project to record automation, then it stops as seen above and won't work again until I close Sonar completely and reopen.  So what happens at the 1 minute mark that causes automation recording to suddenly stop functioning altogether?
 
The entire time the pedal is controlling the wah fine, so I don't think the pedal is the cause (and I'm even thinking Amplitube can be ruled out(?)).  But if I can't get this working then I can't use the pedal for its intended purposes (home recording tracking).
