Sending CC data to the Virus TI

[tendo]

Ok I'm sure there is an answer to this on the forum already (I already did a hefty amount of searching and browsing), if one of you kind souls could point me to the thread that would be incredible... but if not.....

I want to know how I can send MIDI CC values (like filter1 cutoff or lfo rate) from Ableton Live ----> Midi Controller --> Virus TI. I don't want to use the Virus TI VST plugin for reasons that aren't very relevant. Can I somehow make a graph or something in Albeton that will then send that value through my MIDI controller to the Virus? I can send midi note values no problem, but I can't figure out how to automate Filter or LFO speed/value changes. I found a list of all the values on the Virus and their corresponding CC values, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to send or automate this kind of data.


Thanks for the help, sorry I'm such a noob I'm sure I'm getting half of this wrong. I'm not even sure if Midi CC data is the right terminology.
