low VST-Paeameter Values

The way Sonar/CbB handles RPN / NRPN is to interpret them as per the MIDI spec - i.e. as 14 bit controllers.

There are some  hardware devices (and even more VST/VSTi's) that ignore the MIDI spec and just treat RPN/NRPN as standard 8 bit CC messages.

You can tell Sonar to bypass the special RPN/NRPN handling by adding the following to TTSSEQ.INI:

TranslateRPN=0

This will cause Sonar/CbB to treat RPN/NRPN messages as standard CC's.  It doesn't stop you using RPN/NRPN as such, but you'll have to handle the MSB/LSB yourself as separate CC messages:

CC 98 - NRPN LSB
CC 99 - NRPN MSB
CC 100 - RPN LSB
CC 101 - RPN MSB

NOTE:  I've no idea what the consequences would be if you had a project with RPN/NRPN's in it, then you re-open and try to use that project after adding this to TTSSEQ.INI.... so beware.

Thanks for your answer and the risky hint, but  I am not a certified Cakewalkologist 😇 and I don't plan on destroying my Sonar setup. This means that there is no way to control the NRPN values in the Event Editor either? The NRPN values in the Event Editor and also in the PianoRoll (new controller) are based on the 14-bit NRPN basis, have I understood that correctly? And the Spire Synth only recognizes the 8-bit version for the dropdown menus
