[Rwp] Can I assign a knob on a control surface to affect volume and pan easily?

[onlineeagle]

Thanks guys, fortunately, I won't need to map a full control surface. This is just for one or two tracks at a time. I'll have a deeper inspection of the actions list and see if I can find the actions to assign to specific tracks. I found the last touch track option, assigned a knob, and closed it, so I probably mised a lot.

You can assign a midi controller to an action the same way you do a keyboard shortcut in the actions list as well as for stuff like that there are actions that you can only assign midi to.
