Converting automation envelops to MIDI - how?

[Elena Kolpakova]

Hmm, I realised I don't know how to get this done.

I have Massive X loaded inside Komplete Kontrol which is loaded as an Instrument track. I've recorded automation by pressing W button and playing it along the track. Now I have 5 envelopes recorded. I need to share them with a friend who's using another host and I realise I have no clue how to achieve this.

I tried right-clicking on the Envelope and choosing the Convert to MIDI Events, menu but it's greyed out

I tried splitting the Instrument track into MIDI and Audio tracks. And once I did I made sure the recorded automation appears in MIDI track. But that didn't help. The Convert menu is still greyed out. Am I doing anything wrong?

Is there a way at all?

The process is documented here http://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=NewFeatures.022.html

It is for converting MIDI CC automation not plug-in parameter automation.

I suppose one could reassign parameter automation to a CC but I have no idea if it would be usable.

Thank you very much @scook . The problem is indeed in that it doesn't work for VST parameter automation. But that's a great idea about assigning it to some MIDI CCs. I think that would be good enough. I'll just need to remember the map between the CC numbers and the plug-in parameter names used and pass it to the friend together with the MIDI file.
