Dubstep sync changes

Are you talking about the speed of the wobble?

LFO speed?

There is no automation envelope for LFO speed? Moving the knobs with write enabled track does not work?? Let Me know -may have to investigate that.

I can click with my mouse and change it, as i said up top, but it won't automate those changes or save them in any way in the project. I know people do dubstep with sonar, esp with z3ta(+2), how? is my question... I've got a good wobble sound, I just need to be able to have all of the speed changes in the project

Are you  wanting to automate the LFO speed slider (time in hz, I think) or the sync time setting (1/4 notes, 1/8 note triplets, etc)? You can create an automation envelope for either, an envelope for the sync time settings would be the most precise way to keep the wobbles and changes in wobble speed in time with the song.
 
To create an envelope, go to the edit filter for the z3ta+ track and choose automation>z3ta+, you'll have to hunt around the popout menus for the LFO sync parameter for whichever LFO you are using (z3ta+, like most high-powered synths, has a ton of automatable parameters). You'll then have to play around to find the envelope values that correspond to the correct sync time settings, if you're not familiar with envelopes and editing them, check the help files. You probably want to use the "Jump" segment shape for this purpose (discreet value changes).
 
Another way to do this would be to dispense with the z3ta+ LFO altogether and use the draw shape tool to draw an LFO-like automation envelope for the parameter you want to modulate directly (filter cutoff wobbling, for example). I know a lot of dubstep producers use this method in various DAWS, because it gives more precise control and conceptually takes the "wobble" out of the synth patch itself and makes it more part of the arrangement of the song. BTW, I just tested both of these in z3ta+ 1.5 and they both work fine, I imagine the functionality is about the same in v. 2
 
There are  other ways to  do this (as OQ says, you should be able to record automation directly as well).

Oh you can also right click on the W in zata interface and chose the specific parameter you want write enabled instead of making them all enabled. 

Side question: is there a trick to get the automation envelopes to show only the sync values (1/4, 1/4T, 1/8, etc.) only, rather than percentages? It gets annoying trying to find the exact value when it shows both b/c it's hard to tell where you really are.

If you going to be exacting (bladetragic) I would draw it in with automaton envelope so the nods would represent an exact value. Just remember when you cascade down in the automation filter the names you see do not represent categories they are just chunks of all the parameters broken up aphabetically; thats probably why gods guitar could not find the automation envelope b/c there is a billion perameters but if you do not know how the perameter is listed you will not know how to search for it. Also you can write click on any knob in X1 and write enable automation for that control and automate the function. hope it helps
