LOL, 
about automation you are right isn’t automation, I will formulate again my question;
What I mean is, if there is a way to move a knob without press W and revel the line previous to the automation as can be done in Ableton Live,
What I like of that workflow (speaking only about that) is than I don’t need to previously record the automation, I just make the design I want over the line of determinate knob with mouse clicks, and is possible to reveal any line for future automation just moving the wished knob.
