Thanks. I'll give it a shot.

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.

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.
