MIDI Automation - Saving the End Results

Greetings:
I've an Arturia MKII 66 keyboard and accomplished MIDI Automation successfully with both the MIDI Learn feature and also the drag n drop CC# (under MIDI Automation) to the GUI (within Ashlight). Both work fine.

However, I'm wondering what the best way to:

1. Save all of the mapping settings so that when I open Ashlight all of the MIDI mapping to the Arturia keyboard sticks from today forward. I've tried using the Arturia MIDI Controller software and unable to get this to work (so far)
2. Apply these settings also to Pharlight and Straylight. Another words, each of the trilogy instruments (Ashlight, Pharlight and Straylight) have a volume slider. I'd like to use CC#85 to control the Volume Slider to any of these 3 instruments whenever any of these instruments are opened
   
3. Lastly, has anyone been able to figure out if there's a CC# for the XY Pad? (image included)

I'm fairly new to NI and would grateful for the help. Thanks.

 

Partly resolved Question 1, closing out and choose Save The Instrument. Wondering if there's another manual method?

 

should anyone else have these same questions support stated:
1)MIDI CC automation assignments are saved with the Ashlight nki file. After making your assignments, be sure to use the Save as menu. You can keep the file called Ashlight and it will overwrite the Factory patch, or you can create a separate patch by entering a new name.
The default is saved in: Ashlight Library\Instruments folder
2)you can load all three (the trilogy) at the same time and then make the assignment to each. From there, do a Save as for each.
3)There's no single CC# for the XY Pad. The default MIDI CC assignments for the XY Pad are X=CC11, Y=CC1. These assignments are found on the Global page of Ashlight.
