That's essentially how I do it. SONAR has a listing of all assignable parameters for a given effect or instrument, so I usually go that route rather than use whatever built-in learn functionality the plugin may have. But learn is learn, whatever way you look at it I guess.

To be honest I hardly ever assign stuff on my keyboard to MIDI CCs, with the exception of the modwheel.

Why's that?

Better question is... why? It's not as if I'm ever writing some part so complex that I NEED to input multiple forms of automation at once.

I pretty much don't use any of my knobs and sliders for anything, I don't do any live work, so their not of much use to me. I draw most of my automation.
