Here is how I recorded the mod wheel in a MIDI track automation lane.

• Add MIDI track
• Open the MIDI track automation lane
• Open the MIDI Envelop dialog in the automation lane. The dialog will open with Type=Control, Value=1 - Modulation and Channel=1. Hit enter to set the automation lane to the mod wheel.
• Right-click the automation lane fader area and select Remote Control
• In the Remote Control dialog, click the Controller radio button and set value to 1 or use the Learn button.
• Now the automation lane should respond to the mod wheel. When recording the mod wheel activity is recorded in both the track and automation lane.

 
 

Got it thanks Steve. I was assuming that if I set the lane to a CC and armed that for record it would correspond to that incoming CC which obviously it doesn't. Didn't think of using remote control TBH.
 
Anyway thanks again.More time saved.

Ok. Apologies to the OP for hijacking the thread but....now I've learned to save myself the time of converting data my joy maybe short lived.....
 
Steve (or anyone else) is there a way to stop the cc data being recorded into the PRV controller lanes? Now the CC data is in a lane, but it's also in the PRV controller lanes. If I manually edit the automation lane after the event the PRV lane is unaffected and over rides the edits or vice versa.
 
I can of course delete the PRV controller lane manually but I might as well go back to the "convert" method which does the deletion for me. Any ideas?

I have not found a way to prevent the MIDI track from recording the CC data.
 
A fast way to delete all control data from the MIDI track would be a CAL script bound to a shortcut:
(forEachEvent (if (== Event.Kind CONTROL) (delete)))

Thanks again. That may save some time at least. It seems a little bizarre that the two sets of recorded data aren't apparently linked in anyway. i.e. completely independent even though they originated from a common source.

Automation and CC data are different. See http://www.cakewalk.com/D...elp=Automation.14.html
 

Yes I've seen that. It just seems strange that automation of a CC should be different to the CC itself. I can't think of a useful scenario where I'd want them to be different. 

Maybe it was easier to implement.

Thanks for looking into this. Now I know I'm not crazy, well at least not in this area.
 
I'd like to be able to record into 2 automation lanes at once too. Take some of the EW Hollywood strings for example. They use CC1 for vibrato and CC11 for expression (volume). Using an X-Y controller I can get great expressive control by manipulating both CCs at the same time. I just wish it was saved in the automation lanes.
 
Thanks again for your help!
