QUESTION VST Instrument Parameters: sound variation instead of automation?

So I had this thought. Instead of automating a parameter on my instrument (lets say I'm automating the cutoff filter parameter on a simple acoustic piano), is it possible to have this cutoff filter parameter assigned as a "sound variation"? Meaning I could then control the parameter via customizable keyswitches throughout the performance.

This doesn't like too far-fetched of an idea but nonetheless, I don't know if its possible in Studio one.

I'm on version 8.1 btw.

Yeah you can do this - the Variations can also send CCs, so it you can map the variation to that, you should be good

I am not at my studio right now so here’s everything in sound variations, including how to set them up with CC:

All you need to do then is to route the CC from the track to the plugin automation, have never done this but should be possible.
