Hello,
 
I have a CC to CV/Gate converter and want to know if I can get a previously performed automation lane to spit out MIDI CC data or must it be in CC data format to send that out to to my CV/Gate converter?
 
If so, is there a way to apply an automation drawing and convert it to MIDI CC data in the PRV?
 
Thank You!

Why not just try it yourself and see if it works? Draw an automation curve in a MIDI track, assign it to a hardware MIDI out, and patch the hardware MIDI out into the converter. Let us know if it works. I tend to think SONAR doesn't care if it's sending MIDI data to a soft synth or hardware output.

Maybe I didnt make myself clear.  
I cant try it because automation lanes dont have a way of spitting out CC data to my CC->CV/Gate converter.
I was asking if there is a way to convert the automation lane drawing to the CC controllers which you can see in the PRV.
I was looking for a way, but I think I am beat.  
 
Thanks

You can convert PRV CCs to Automation, but not vice-versa. However, I'm not sure that really matters. I think a hardware MIDI output cares only about the data it receives, not how the data was created. I'll try it later tonight when I'm in the studio and report back.

No there is currently no way to convert Automation data to CC MIDI events.

However, there is a way to get an Automation lane to send CC Data. 

Create a MIDI track with its output set to your Hardware MIDI port.

On the track view, hit Shift=A to create an automation lane on that MIDI track.  On the Automation lane edit filter dropdown, select "MIDI" (The last item).  This brings up the controller selection dialogue box (looks like the controller selection in the PRV).  This allows you to select which controller you wish this automation lane to display and edit.

You can now edit that controller using an automation lane.

As a test, I created a MIDI track, and created an automation lane mapped to MIDI Controller 10 (Pan).  I drew some nodes to change the pan position of the track.  I put some notes in the MIDI track.  I played the track and the external controller (An SW1000XG in a second PC driven by a USB to MIDI cable) responded correctly to the PAN position as defined by the nodes in the automation lane.

So what Craig stated is the way to go and does work.

That being said, with Platinum's new transform tool (post 2017.4), for MIDI only projects, I now use PRV controller lane and don't use automation lanes.

This is EXACTLY what I needed.  So great, I had no clue!  Thank you both for your help Anderton and promidi!
