Then just insert one controller event at the very beginning with the value
that you want (you can always edit it later, if you want).  If you you leave
a blank measure at the start of  the project (always a good idea), popit in
there and you'll be good to go. 

Best wishes.

What if I just want one amount throughout the entire track?

        OK, the easiest way is to assign a knob on a controller keyboard to
spit out
        CC5 messages and just twiddle away.  Failing that, try this:
        
        1 - Select the MIDI track that's controlling your synth;
        
        2 - Bring up the Event View;
        
        3 - Move to the note event to be affected by your change;
        
        4 - Press Insert+3 so that Jaws ignores your next keystroke;
        
        5 - Press the Insert key on its own.  This will insert a new event
that will
        be exactly the same as the event you were positioned on before you
pressed
        the key, however, you will now be positioned on the new event, not
the
        original (this is important);
        
        6 - Use your left/right cursor keys to position yourself on the
"Kind"
        column (it'll say Note) and press Enter.  You can use up/down
cursors to
        select the required event type (you want Controller), then press
Enter;
        
        7 - Use your right arrow key to get to the Data column and press
Enter.  In
        the edit box that appears, type in the controller number you want to
use
        (e.g. 5), then press Enter;
        
        8 - Press the right cursor key again to get to the Value column
(this title
        doesn't announce for me) and press Enter.  You can now type in the
value for
        your controller parameter, so low values should give you short glide
times
        and large ones much longer - it's a 14-bit range, so it'll take big
numbers!
        
           
        You can insert as many of these messages as you want, so you can
adjust the
        length of glides throughout the track, assuming that the synth
supports the
        function.
        
         Best wishes.

        Hi Tim,
        
        How do I go about doing that?
