MIDI question

Hi....

I've looked through the manual and searched the forum (via google) for the answer to this, but haven't really had much luck. Apologies if this has already been addressed, but I have a couple MIDI questions.

1)key map box doesnt show me min/max value options when i attempt to assign a slider/pot, for instance, to the beat ratio to set loops to (like, when i assign a pot to this control, the slightest turn of the knob sends the value skyrocketing to like 5,000).

2)can i set one universal button to scrub for any clip that's selected on a layer? same for beat ratio, triggering a particular clip space regardless of what deck is selected... I'd like to be able to scrub along the timeline of whichever clips i selected in a given layer without having to assign the same slider to every individual clip. I imagine the answer to this question will help me to understand how I can do the same thing for effects and other things.

Thank you!

I'm not quite sure what you mean by this. The number of beats a clip will play in should be limited to 4096. Maybe a screenshot of the function you're referring to will help?

A button to scrub will not work, since buttons send values between 0-127. But a rotary should work fine. Just map the rotary at the Application Mapping in Layer focus, then any clip you make active will respond to the rotary.

I hope that helps!
