We really shouldn't allow banking at all here.

The trouble arises when you want to pin Track1 to Channel8.

If you can't navigate so that Track1 is on Channel8 to pin it, what do you do ?

So -- design decision time -- have more intuitive banking stops but disallow certain Tracks from being pinned to certain Channels under certain conditions ? -- allow Tracks to be pinned to any Channel, and live with the suboptimal banking stops ?

Or.... we can bend the rules jus' a tiny bit

Implement the more intuitive style of banking stops.

If you really want to pin Track1 to Channel8, rearrange the Tracks in Reaper such that Track1 is on Channel8, pin it, then rearrange the Tracks in Reaper.

So for a slight workaround for the extreme edge case where "you can't get there from here", we get more intuitive bank stops.

Unless someone points out a show stopper, think we'll go with this approach.
I agree with that 100% as I'm sure most would, and as you say, there is always a workaround for that once in a million situation.

Awesome work as usually good sir, can wait.
