hi til the synthrack issue is fully addressed by cakewalk , there's a workaround for it; a bit of work with the Jaws cursor , but definitely doable. at htis time , while in the SynthRack view , up/down arrows do navigate between existing synths; but the left/right ones do nothing as long as there are no assignable controls. when there are such controls for the current synths , the left/right arrows navigate between them. to add the first automatable parameter , after inserting the synth simply press your Applications key , and choose the parameter to add. now , the trick is how to get to the spot where you can further add assignable parameters , since pressing Applications key will always open the menu for automating that first parameter. so , switch to the Jaws cursor or Wineyes mouse pointer. next , move that cursor upward til you encounter the synth's name and the tooltip says "plug-in name". now , perform a left-click. at this point when pressing your Applications key , you get the menu of automatable parameters from which you can add as many as you like. after adding parameters you'll notice that the left/right arrows navigate and wrap round these assignable controls. now , automating these is no problem; press the Applications key while focused on one of them , and the regular menu with automation options , organizing into groups , setting values etc will appear. hope this helps Roy.
