How can you display automation parameters for a virtual instrument on an Aux Input track in a MIDI Editor window?

Explanation:
To show automation for a virtual instrument on an Aux Input track inside the MIDI Editor, you need to add an automation lane within that window. Click the add lanes button (+) to create a new lane, then use the lane’s view selector to choose the desired automation parameter for the instrument. This displays the automation data right in the MIDI Editor, letting you edit the virtual instrument’s control changes alongside your MIDI data. Other options don’t place or reveal the instrument’s automation in the MIDI Editor: they either affect automation in the track’s main Edit window (not the MIDI Editor) or perform unrelated actions like looping, so they won’t show the instrument’s automation in this context.
