I'm talking about any automation, track or region. I don't know what constitutes a "classic midi track", I'm using the external instrument plug-in.
If I record any parameter on my synth, it is stored as events. I can see them in Event List, and in Step Editor too if I choose Lanes > New Lane Set from Current Events. I need to convert these to automation (or even better, be able to record them as automation, which I'm sure should be possible with a MIDI controller).
