Help automating Scarbee Bass sustain

Can someone help me automate a Kontakt instrument's (NI Scarbee Bass) sustain? I'm trying to automate some of the bass articulations and can't figure it out. It seems I can draw an automation line for the sustain using 127 for on and 0 for off but I don't know how to do that.

Googling I found this but it related to Cubase. But I don't know where to find a controllers tab in the Kontakt vst.

In Cubase...
In the Scarbee VST assign cc#64 for the sustain, in the controllers tab.
In the piano roll I draw 2 legato notes.
Below at the velocity I've chosen Sustain (CC#64)
And draw 127 for on and 0 for off

Thanks for the help.

Go to the Envelope tab in Clip view.
At the bottom select MIDI CTRL in the left drop down and then CC 64 in the right one.

More info here, including images for older Live versions.
