Midi Automation Envelopes

Hi Guys, 

I posted this in the get started section, didn't receive a definitive answer and was referred over here.  Hopefully somebody who knows X1 well can answer this.


Is it possible to draw an automation envelope for a midi cc control for one of my hardware synths? I would like to be able to simply draw a curve that controls the cutoff on my roland gaia synth.  How would I go about doing this or am I stuck editing the midi in the midi clips controller pane?  I am trying to do this on a midi track that has the in/out set to the gaia. I can't seem to figure it out...Sonar is quite different then flstudio heh :) 

Also while Im at it, is there a way to re-assign shift + D to maximizing the dock that doesn't require me to reset up all of my key bindings? I haven't been able to locate the function in key bindings.   

Thanks!

Awesome thanks Brundlefly, I have tried that but now that i know it works that way, I will give it another go as I must have been doing something incorrectly.

If you already had done some Controller lane edits or recording it would likely be a good idea to delete those before doing the automation envelope as you will be getting CC input from 2 sources, the Automation envelope and the CC midi lane.   I do not know if one takes precedence over the other and if so which one would or if they will both put input in and create a real mess.  Maybe that is something else Scott could answer.
