Hey, Create a software instrument track, make sure it's selected, and then go to track info. Then select the browse tab. You'll see a pop-up button, you want to make sure that Show All is the option that's selected. That way, all your software instruments will be displayed in the browser, which is right after the pop-up button. If you interact with this browser anduse VO up and down arrows, you'll navigate through a list of categories of instruments and sound effects that you can choose from. Once you find the category you want, just hit VO right arrow and it should put you in a list of all available instruments in that group. I've never used this with a USB keyboard, but if I enable musical typing, all I need to do is start pressing keys and the instrument or effect I've selected starts playing. When I move down to the next instrument in that category, it will automatically switch to it the next time I press a key.
I'm not too sure on how to automate panning and volume, but my guess is that it'll probably be in track info as well. Try selecting the edit tab and see where that gets you. If not, then maybe it's somewhere in the track headers groupe, where the manual volume and panning sliders are.
