Automating controls from the Synth Rack

Note: Your synth’s manufacturer determines which controls (if any) you can automate. If your synth does not expose its controls to Cakewalk, you can not automate the synth.

Once you create some control knobs on the Synth Rack, you can record automation from them. Use the same procedure you would use to record automation of any other Cakewalk knob or widget. See Recording individual fader or knob movements and Displaying Synth Rack automation for more information

You can also draw and edit synth automation in the Clips pane. See Drawing soft synth automation in the Clips pane for more information.
