For example: When I assign a midi note to a slot (in session view) and assign the same note to a different slot later - it overrides the initial assignment and the note is now assigned to the second slot.
Is it possible to assign one Midi note to multiple slots (not a scene) ?
Or assign one Midi note to multiple parameters like dry/wet and feedback time of simple delay?

I know I had this one time by accident when a knob of my controller was assigned to frequency and resonance of AutoFilter. When I turned the knob frequency and resonance increased at the same time and in Midi Assignment View the note was listed to both parameters. I dont know how this happened. I wonder if this is a feature or a bug?

I have the same problem but using my computer keyboard and my AKAI APC40
Let me explain to you:
lets say I have a live set with 4 tracks and all of them with the same plugins : Eq, Auto filter and Ping pong delay.
And instead of using the arrows on my apc to go from one plugin to another (sometimes if u have few more plugins this can take time as u have to be looking to the screen to make sure u are controlling the right one) I prefer to assign keys of my computer to change to the plugin I want to control. So every time I select a track using my apc I'd hit the key on the computer to select the plugin I want....
lets say I assign E for EQ, F for FILTER and P for PING PONG DELAY.
but how can I assign the same key (E for example) to change to the plugin I want only on the select track?
because if I assign E for the EQ on the first track then I cant assign for track 2...
anyway I can do that?
tks

you can't assign the same note to 2 clips on the same track since you cant play 2 clips on the same track

if you want to play 2 clips with one button press just put them on separate tracks

if you use bome's miditranslator you can assign several keykommands to one single command eg. assign
q for ping-pong track one
w for track two
e for track three
r for track four

then assign t in bomes MT to q,w,e and r and it will hopefully work

same with eq

a for eq track one
s for eq track two
and so on...

Cheers mate....it would be the solution but I forgot to say that I'm a mac user (OS X 10.5) and unfortunately Bomes's midi translator for mac does not support Keystroke as Incoming Trigger. Lets wait for the new release. hope they will get this sorted.

tks.....

anyone? any other idea?

oh man i'm sorry but this really suxxx... hope you find another way

maybe you can write a patch in glovepie? - dammit

GlovePIE is only compatible with Windows operating systems

edit: maybe it's also possible to assign different midi-notes...

yes you´re right. I saw the new assignment overriding the old one on clips in the same track and assumed this is the case for any new assignment.
should have tested different tracks. thanks for opening my eyes
