power knob control?

I had a chance to sit down and do this in Reaper. The cc method I mentioned above works, but you can also automate the dynamics knob using track automation by using ReaControlMidi. To do so:

1. In JS, right click the dyn knob and select the CC number you want to use. May be a good practice to use one not commonly used (like don't use cc7, as that is typically midi Volume). I chose cc 14.
2. On the track in Reaper that has JS, add the fx ReaControlMidi as the first fx in the chain (i.e., before JS)
3. In ReaControlMidi, on the bottom section of the gui, check the box that says "Enable" under Control Change.
4. On one of the unused dropdowns, select the CC corresponding to whatever you chose in JS.
5.Open the track automation dialog. The CC # you chose in RCM should now appear as one of the selectable boxes to display.
6. Draw or record your automation on the automation lane. The dyn knob should now follow the automation curve.
