Controller 74 not working as expected

[STEVEN CASEY]

I'm using a Komplete keyboard with the Analog Dreams instrument in Komplete Kontrol, loaded up as an instrument in a CW track. I want to automate the Cutoff setting, which I believe is Controller 74. The knob on the keyboard is linked to the knob on the GUI, moving correctly when I twirl the knob. I can't get the automation working however. I enabled Automation Write but it doesn't record the automation and I also tried drawing in an envelope but the plugin isn't reacting to this either. Any ideas what I might be missing? I'm not sure what else to describe so hope this makes sense.

I'm not even really trying to automate as much as set it to one setting and have it stay there. When I start playback if jumps all the way to the right no matter how I try adjusting it. I want it to stay at about 50%.

Thanks
