Copy-Paste is the only way to reproduce a CC event, either by selecting the controller event directly or by enabling Select Controllers with Notes. There is no function when drawing in new notes to have SONAR also insert a CC event having the same value as another event that happened to be in the same time range as the previously touched/entered note. Note Draw just isn't aware of that relationship.

remember, midi cc values are time depending, not to a special note on the time. You can have midi cc without to have any note in the timeline and many notes at the same time sharing the same midi cc data.
 
Sonar don't have note expressions like it's possible in Cubase.

Thanks everyone
 
would be nice if they could add this in the future
A) click previous note and next note copies cc value 
B) when you stretch any notes the cc value length stretches with it .
 
I guess the drag horizontally the  cc value  with the note is fairly new so maybe in the future .
 
All the best thanks again

I omitted mentioning a key fact in my previous post: It's not necessary to resend a CC message for every new note if the value hasn't changed. The effect on any given synth of any given CC message value will persist until a different value is sent. And SONAR's Patch/Controller Searchback setting in Preferences ensures that CCs earlier in the timeline are resent on starting playback at a later point.

Totally understand and its great that sonar doesn't resend it because it would be a pain for me at a certain points in this process that i am using the cc values for  , however i need to be able to change values of notes quicker than manually entering cc values for new notes ( which being able to hit a previous note with a value of 0-7 and then enter the new note with that cc value , is over time going to be quicker for me ) . The  method i am using this cc values is for is switching,recording then playback and its the only way i can get all of the steps i need to work the easiest and proper for me .

All the best

Hi Everyone
 
while on this subject i have another question
 
is there a key or way of slowing the mouse pointer down when moving the CC Values up or down ???
 
reason i ask is if i have the Midi CC envelope shrunk to about 1 inch /25mm at the bottom of prv and need to enter say a vaule of 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 , would be nice to hold down ctrl or something to make it quicker to get to the value i need ????
 
 
Any suggestions is appreciated .

Here's a trick for you:
 
After entering all or a bunch of notes, you can copy the velocities to a CC lane, and they'll be converted to CC messages with values matching the velocities. I use this trick with Garritan synths to get CC11 Expression values that match the velocities I played. Just select all the notes, right-click in the header of the CC lane, and choose Copy Selected Values to this Lane.
 
Regarding adjustment resolution, with many controls and settings holding Shift will give you fine control over adjustments; unfortunately it doesn't work with controller handles.
