How do I insert a CC 7 event at a certain spot of a track?

[tdehan]

I want to insert a controller 7 event in a track at a certain spot but cannot for the life of me figure how to do this.  Can someone please help?

Thanks

I am not at my computer right now but if you add an envelope to the desired track, just like you would add volume or pan automation, you should be able to select whatever CC you want.

Place Now Time at the desired point, open  the Event List, insert event CC7 with desired value.

I am not familiar with how to do either of the 2 suggestions here.  Can you please point me to a link that shows me how?

Inserting events in the Event List

[David Baay]

In Views > Event List, hitting the Insert key on your PC keyboard makes a copy of the event at the current Now time. You can then double-click the Kind field, select Control, OK, and then set the controller number and value.

In a lot of ways, the easiest is to use a CC7 automation envelope In a MIDI track, but that will require some general knowlege of working with envelopes as well as how to add one for CC7 so you'll want to begin at the beginning:

I attempted all of these suggestions with no success.  Obviously it's all greek to me.  Can anyone perhaps point me to a video that shows how I can add a CC7 event at a particular place in clip?
