Automation of XTC synths in Cubase SX

Is it possible to automate the XTC synths in Cubase?

I can get logic to show all the parameters (filter cutoff etc) but not in Cubase.

If it's possible I'll keep fiddling with it. Otherwise I'll give up.

Just set it via VST Automation: Click 'W' on the device, so a VST Automation track is created for the device. Now look at the controller's properties on the new track, edit or write the parameter you want.

... or just move any button of the synth with your mouse. Cubase will recognize and "record" the movement.

By the way, if you use Houston or the Mackie Control, you can perfectly control any XTC device, because the controller automatically recognizes the parameters as soon as you load the device - just great!

Is this in SX? I cannot seem to get the synth parameters to show up?
- Clicking the "R" for read automation on the VST instument's TRack Mixer channel causes a VST Instrument Automation Track to appear in the Project window
- However, the only automatable parameters are the *Mixer* channels...

Ah!

- So, you need to click the automation "W" on the VST Instrument itself [i.e. not the Mixer Channel but the *Instrument*]
- This makes all the VST Instrument parameters show up as a seperate Instrument Austomation Track in the Project browser. Works Great!
