You need to record MIDI controller data to modify the synths parameters. You can double-click on the MIDI track header to bring up the MIDI Piano Roll Editor. In the Piano Roll, you can change the velocity controller envelope (lower left under the keyboard) to any MIDI Controller data you want and then paint the continuous controller data in the Piano Roll. It’s not as slick as adding an envelope to a track like volume and pan envelopes but it works. (you need to know what controller number the filter cutoff is mapped to on your soft synth). ~jr
