Unable to select automation envelopes for softsynths due to massive list

Hey guys!

I'm having an issue with X1 and I'm wondering if anyone has a solution to this problem.

I've automated a parameter using a softsynth (in this case NI Kontakt). Creating the automation worked fine. I used act with write automation enabled. The problem I'm having is that now that the envelope is written, I have no way of editing it because when I go to the automation menu -> Kontakt, I have 8 million options in the list. When I look through the massive list, the parameter just isn't there. 

I'd like to be able to just click on the envelope and have Sonar switch to being able to edit that envelope, but I can't seem to be able to do that. It looks like I HAVE to find the envelope from that list before it'll be highlighted and editable in the track view. 

Any Thoughts? 

I'd really like to just see paramaters that I've modified in the list, since I really have no desire to EVER look through the massive list of parameters. I'll always just use ACT to automate the parameter I want. 

If this isn't making sense, I'll be happy to upload screen shots. I'm not on my DAW at the moment, or I would have already :)

Thanks guys!

    shift-click on the envelope to select it. shift-click on the clip to go back to editing clips.

    Cheers, Peter.

    This is brilliant! Thanks man!

    I read the X1 power book. Either I missed this or it's not in there. Either way, this has fixed one of my big annoyances. Now that I know this, I'm actually digging the changes to envelope control. Its a major improvement!

    Hey Josh,

    Yep, it's in there. Check out the tip labeled Quick Envelope Selection on page 370.

    Thanks!
