Convert between MIDI continuous controller (CC) events and automation envelopes

You can convert back and forth between MIDI continuous controller (CC) events and automation envelopes.

The existing Track view Clips > Convert MIDI Controllers To Envelopes command lets you convert all CC events on all selected tracks to automation envelopes. For details, see Converting MIDI controllers to envelopes.

You now also have finer control with the ability to convert an individual CC type on a Piano Roll controller lane. You can also convert MIDI automation envelopes back to CC events that can be edited in the Piano Roll view. You can also choose to convert only a selected part of your CC events / automation envelope and back again.

Converting MIDI controllers to envelopes

1.	In the Piano Roll view Controller pane, click the name/label of the CC type that you want to convert to an envelope.

2.	Right-click the highlighted CC name/label and select Convert MIDI to Envelopes.

Cakewalk converts the Piano Roll view controller data to a Track view envelope that controls the same parameter.

Converting envelopes to MIDI controllers

1.	In the Clips pane, show the envelope that you want to convert to MIDI controller events.

2.	Select the time range that contain the controller data you want to convert, or clear the selection if you want to convert the entire envelope.

3.	Right-click envelope and select Convert to MIDI Events.

Conversion uses the current Snap to Grid setting as a resolution for discrete CC events:

If Snap is off, the resolution is the last selected snap setting.

If Snap is not set to a musical value (e.g. samples), the resolution is 1/32nd note.
