Hi

How do you assign a rotary to jog through your scene?

Cheers

When you press the MIDI map button, a Set of arrows will show up just above the fader on the master channel. Assign the knob to those buttons when they appear and your good to go.

Great, thanks!
One other thing, is there a way of assigning a couple of buttons to switch between the session view and your effects view?
Cheers

You want one of these trampling over your garden? Sorry, couldn't resist the bad joke.

welll if your talking about your effects in each channel.. you can map buttons to the channel (MIDI map the block where you name your track... just above scene 1). Then when you push that button your effects in the channel will pop up. you cant map it to scrol through channels though :(

If I understand correctly, you probably mean SHIFT+TAB.

Indeed.
Silly question but how do you assign that to a midi button?

You are gonna need a software like Bome's Midi Translator, to do a MIDI-to-keystroke mapping. Why SHIFT+TAB not convenient?
