u can also trigger automation envelopes by MIDI notes, it needs MUX Modular which has a brilliant multi-point envelope editor which can be assigned to any VST(i) control, by putting clips with triggering notes into the different takes, just created a video about it in the automation topic in kvr

the in-built automation in Sonar can be used only to the basic things especially if u are EDM, so worth to learn MUX for sure (for layering and easy to create modulation things and it knows zillion other things)
hope it not count some kind of advertisement
if yes please delete this
