New Mackie Universal Controller

[Timo]

Hi, I'm a bit slow, but I wondered how come there's only ever one knob per channel with these things? I guess it's multi-function, but how do you select what parameter that knob is tweaking at any one time?

Aren't there any dedicated knobs for controlling the EQ in Cubase (or similar), aux busses, pan pot, or for recording midi automation stuff, or whatever without having to somehow click on the screen or scrolling through parameters using buttons every time you want to re-assign the knob each time? (I'm guessing that's how you select a parameter you want the knob to be assigned to at any one time)? One knob per channel appears kinda, um, restrictive, and even defeatist if you want to tweak several things very quickly or on-the-fly without using a mouse or scrolling using buttons.
