I guess sliders of different scenes are mapped to different controllers. And it happens that scene 4 contains a slider that maps to the appropriate volume control of aucat. To control the volume, the simpler is to configure the nanokontrol as follows: first slider to (channel 0, controller 7), next slider to (channel 1, controller 7), and so on. This way you get one slider per application. > I was also wondering > whether I could use the turn knobs instead of the sliders for the > volume control.

So all you need is to assign volume controls to knobs, there's probably a way to configure the nanokontrol to do so. midish can map any control number any other one, so you can "cheat" with it. But using it is more complicated than just configuring the nanokontrol. Well unless you want to be able to do other fancy things with it, like save/reload your settings or record volume automations into midi files etc... > The controller also has start/stop etc. buttons.

This is to start multiple applications synchronously (ex. play a track with one program while you record another track with another program..) -- Alexandre
