Question: Live 10 or 11 - Automatically Create Automation Lanes?

I find creating automation lanes in the Arrangement View to be quite tedious, especially if I desire to create several of them in one track, for example to automate MIDI parameters on an external synth over time, and I want to view them all at once in the Arrangement View. For example MIDI Track A will have five (5) distinct automation lanes, created by initial knob twists, for filter cutoff, Q, envelope decay, envelope amount, and volume. Furthermore, during editing, juggling between these automation lanes is cumbersome, so I like to have them all displayed at once via the little + button. SIDE-RANT: Don't get me started on the annoyance of the Track or Device On/Off button always "overwriting" the topmost lane. That's a topic for another discussion and I would very much like if Live would stop doing that via a Preference selection. Anyway...

Question for the Live masses: In order to speed up the process, is there any way automation lanes can automatically be generated based on the envelope parameter tweaked during record?

EDIT: I currently use the latest version of Live 10. I have not yet upgraded as the features don't particularly interest me...but I am gravitating more and more towards the Comping feature.

For Live's own GUI and devices, you right click the knob and select "Show Automation in New Lane" context menu option (the track has to be in Arrangement, in Session a "Show Modulation" option will show instead).

There is a "Add Lane for Each Automated Envelope" option if you right-click a automation lane's header.
