I have been using Orion for many years and didn't realise that an instruments automation parameters automatically get the mixer strip parameters as well.
Previously, I would add my instrument, and say I wanted to automate the LoMid Freq, I would edit the Song patterns for that knob, little realise the parameter is actually available in the automation dropdown in the piano roll.
Pretty obvious now and thought I would post just in-case anyone else has missed this
