Default Help: MIDI CC control with arrange automation curves

The subject line really says it all. I'd like to control MIDI CC1 (modwheel) not with the midi editors CC lane, which IMO is a pain to operate for smooth curves, but somehow use the awesome bezier curves of the arrange automation lanes for this. I'm sure there's some way or plugin that allows this to be set up but I'm not a very advanced user and haven't thought it out yet.

Any help much appreciated!

ReaControlMIDI has slots for CC (and pitch and the like). So you can make a fader in ReaControlMIDI send the CC you'd like to control and automate that fader with track automation.

Yes, thanks! This is an awesome feature, it makes CC editing so much easier.

Would there be anything, any setting or area of the chain, that would cause a linear envelope from ReaControlMIDI to sound choppy, ramped, and stepped (i.e. not smooth at all)? I'm having major issues using this plugin and a standard envelope (CC11 in this case), but the playback is horrid and rigid.

What could I be doing wrong?

Linear curve here.

Hi lowellben, I've never used ReaControlMIDI but maybe check your CC density settings, Preferences>Editing Behavior>MIDI Editor "Events per quarter note when drawing in CC lanes".

Guys,

Please. This makes no sense to me. I trust I'm overlooking something stupid.

Facts:
1) Pitch Wheel on keyboard manually moved by me up and down = smooth as butter modulation. (first part of video)

2) Simply enabling a SINE wave LFO in Parameter Modulation and REAMIDIControl = Stepped ugly choppy pitch modulation. I hold one key down and do NOT touch pitch wheel. Just the key itself. The LFO is now modulating pitch. Stepped MIDI pitch changes. Bad.

Why is ReaControlMIDI stepping my modulation with a smooth sine LFO? Obviously me riding the wheel manually in real-time is smooth, why can't I automate the modulation using Reaper's built in parameter modulation to save me time and energy? These little hiccups are starting to cost me time and sanity

Please, help? How can I enable RealMIDIControl to function properly as if my hand was rocking the pitch wheel? It makes no sense why one way works fine but ReaControlMIDI is stepping my pitch values!?!
