MIDI envelopes? Efficient ways to manipulate MIDI parameters....

Background:

When I record Guitar Rig on an audio track, I record automation of the wah, pan, pitch, etc - which are drawn on the track in envelope form. Then I can manipulate the envelope line for the correct placement of the any combo of those parameters if I don't like what I did when I tracked, and add nodes where needed.

Question:

Trying to record a drum/sound fx track in Battery3 where I can manipulate the pitch. Now I can do this, but the recorded pitch data - I want to manipulate the picth like the envelope in the background statement above and not have to draw in the PRV ...which doesn't seem as friendly to me and unable to draw lines the same way. That way I could add nodes and work linearly ...literally. :)



Am I missing something? What is the most efficient way to accomplish this goal? 

Scott,

I did assign the pitch parameter to my Akai MPK49 (either the slider or knobs works). 

I DID NOT try converting the controller data to envelopes, that sounds like what I want to do. I will try that tonight. 

I just think i can be a bit more precise with my editing with an envelope than PRV.

Thanks Scott!

In the track view, select the track/clip you want to work with.  Then go to the drop down in the Clips menu and at the very bottom is  "Convert Midi controllers to envelopes".  A box will then come up where you can select what you want to convert.  Pitch is usually controlled by the Type "Wheel" in the drop down box on the left that says control.  For other controllers put in the number of the CC (eg 11 for expression) and it should convert what ever automation/control functions you had recorded for that clip/track.
