Entering CC controllers into a sequence

I have been using Cakewalk for many years and have completed hundreds of projects, but i seldom use CCs.  I am taking on a project where I will have to enter hundreds of CC messages into sequences to control outboard equipment via midi.  Mostly the CCs will be controlling fx units, like outboard pitch correction and harmonizing for vocals, and DMX lighting controls.
 
I know I can enter them in Events view, but it seems kind of a clunky way to do it.
 
Any advice on how to do it efficiently?  This is going to be tedious work and I want to develop an efficient workflow.
 
Thanks in advance.

I have no experience in such projects, but some ideas:
* for "switch" like CC, you can draw information as notes in PRV. Note number -> CC number, note velocity -> CC Value. And use a "converter", (should) work live and for bouncing: http://www.azslow.com/ind...nloads;sa=view;down=37
Notes are much simpler to deal with in PRV, especially in case you need many different CCs. And for some "pattern" based changes, the step sequencer can be used.
* for continuous changes I guess it is faster to record MIDI controller with a knob /MonWheel. While many controllers allow to configure which CC they send (some of them fast), you can record one CC and "convert" into another inside Sonar: http://tencrazy.com/gadgets/mfx/ , CC Map.
