yeah its real easy, you just right click pretty much anything that can be automated then find link value to controller or something, a little option box comes up and u just twist or slide the knob or fader you want it to be assigned to and presto! its real nice too because in that little window you can edit how the fader/knob controls it, like say if u just assign a slider to tempo, at the top the tempo will be like 400 and bottom like 1, but you can go in there and edit how it is controlled so instead of jumping by intervals of like 4 to a max of 400, it's in a range from say 70-110 and goes in intervals of one.. know what i mean? i appreciate how easy they make it in FL to control something with hardware
