Hi Andy,

Unfortunately, SONAR LE does not have the option to Assign Controls to FX from the Inspector.

1. Do one of the following:

○ To write-enable an individual track or bus control, right-click the fader or control you want to automate and choose Automation Write Enable from the pop-up menu.

○ To write-enable individual plug-in parameters, right-click the name of the plug-in in the FX bin, and choose Write Enable Parameter from the pop-up menu. This opens a dialog that allows you to choose which parameters to write-enable.

○ To write-enable individual synth parameters, right-click the synth’s Automation Write button in the Synth Rack, and choose Write Enable Parameter from the pop-up menu. This opens a dialog that allows you to choose which parameters to write-enable.

○ To write-enable all parameters in an audio track, bus, synth, or effect, enable the Automation Write button on the track, bus, Synth Rack strip, or plug-in property page you are recording automation for. Enabling the Automation Write button on a track or bus also write-enables all parameters of any effects on the track or bus.

2. Start playback or recording.

3. Move the armed parameter control(s).

4. Stop playback or recording.

After you record the automation data, SONAR draws a graph of it (an envelope) in the Clips pane, which you can edit with the mouse by adding and dragging nodes. Once you record automation data in a track, the widget that you automated displays an indicator to show that automation has been applied. You can also group controls, so that automating one control automates all the controls in the group.

Please search the Help menu for "Recording Automation" for more information.

Hope that helps,

Sonar 8.5 LE: Can't find fx parameters to automate. (andyb12)

Hi.

I am trying to find the fx parameters to automate in the track inspector. I have done the following to a default master bus in the bus pane as an example:
1. Add the fx Cakewalk studioverb to the bus fx bin.
2. In the fx properties window, pressed the automation write button to enable all parameters to be enabled for automation writing.
3. Looked in the track inspector and found the fx bin with the studioverb fx in it, but no automatable or assignable controls exist from the studioverb addon.
4. In the display drop down, disabled everything except fx and still can't find the parameters.

Where exactly/how exactly do I find them?
