Summary0009951: Extended MIDI CCs in the automation menu for SFZ 2.0 compliance
DescriptionI recently stumbled upon the fact that MIDI CC 130 isn't shown (https://github.com/michaelwillis/tchimera-drum-kit/issues/2) in the automation menu of a track. However the Tchimera Drum Kit uses it to represent polyphonic aftertouch for individual cymbal choking.

The drumkit is loaded via sfizz (https://github.com/sfztools/sfizz) and a knob for CC130 shows up in the "Controls" tab of the plugin's GUI. However, I cannot find it in the automation menu of Ardour. It does show up if I edit the .sfz file and replace CC130 to CC13, for example.

The author of that drumkit explains that using extended MIDI CCs complies with the SFZ 2.0 standard and is necessary to avoid choking all of the cymbals at once.
Steps To Reproduce1. Create a session.
2. Create a MIDI track and load the Tchimera Drum Kit in the sfizz-multi LV2 plugin.
3. Create a drum pattern in the piano roll playing cymbals.
4. Try to show the automation lane for MIDI CC130 by right clicking on the MIDI track > Automation > Controllers.
5. No Controller is shown for MIDI CC130.
6. Open the plugin's GUI and click on the vertical fader icon to view the "Controls" tab.
7. Manually increase the level of CC130 to hear the cymbal choking.
