Thanks. External assignments should follow the Smart knob, regardless of what that knob is controlling in different instruments. I verified with a quick test.. I assigned an external fader to the first Smart knob in an EXS patch (which happened to be controlling Env 2 Attack). Other instruments retained this assignment (even though in the Smart Inspector the external assignment tab said "no assignment"). So I created a new Smart panel (in an instance of Sculpture), with the first Smart knob instead assigned to Output Level. The external fader still affected this control, following the knob, as expected, and not the actual function. However, occasionally, I'd open a patch where that first knob didn't respond at all (for some reason?), so it does seem to be at least occasionally inconsistent. Plus, apparently some users have reported having issues using this function within Track Stacks -- I don't know if that's still a possible issue..
Cheers,
Joe
