How to get back to initial vsti preset state at beginning of song

[Aslak Bjerkvik]

 I open a preset in a vsti (Arturia Matrix-12 V in this case) which is on an instrument track.

 I record som chords and automation of vsti-parameters using the Arturia Keylab controller.

 After the recording, the parameters of the instruments (cutoff, resonance etc.) are at a different state than in the original preset.

How can I reset the instrument-parameters  back to the original preset without reopening the preset from within the vsti? Is it possible to take a snapshot of all the parameters of the vsti at the beginning of the song?

In short, yes, you can take snapshots of any automatable parameters. You would need to add an automation lane for each parameter.  

The bigger question I have is why are they changing? Are you changing them or are they controlled by the patch itself, VCOs or envelope?

Well, I recorded MIDI CC changes using the pots on the Arturia controller.  Converting MIDI CC to automation lanes seems to be a solution, but I can't find out if it's still possible. Can't find this dialog:

Is it still available?

I never used this feature, but I looked it up in the index to the Cakewalk by Bandlab online Documentation because I was interested in learning about this.  Here's the link I found.  If this page doesn't help, maybe someone else can explain it.
