Ah, got it! Well, the way I've set things up now works quite well too.

Interesting! I was using the Klinke driver up to this point and that one doesn't suffer from it, so I wonder how he pulled it off. Not meaning to take anything away from CSI, this is obviously waaay more customizable and actually really amazing. FWIW, the DrivenByMoss driver also has the same issue.

Awesome! So, I have one more
I've been spending the whole day playing with this thing today and figuring it out. One thing I don't get is how to get my X-Touch Extender to go into FX mode together with the main unit. I've made some plugin maps for my main X-Touch and it works great, but I'd like to use the rotaries on the Extender too. When I press the plugin button on X Touch, it goes into MapSelectedTrackFXToMenu, but the Extender does nothing. Selecting a plugin map makes the main X Touch open the map, but the map I created for the extender doesn't appear on it. The extender acts as if nothing happened.
In this case I'm mapping the Brainworx SSL4000E channel strip. I've mapped the EQ + filters to the main unit (using rotaries + push buttons + modifiers). I'd like to map the compressor + THD and some other stuff to the Extender.
The Extender doesn't have a plugin button of its own, so I'll have to somehow get it to react to the plugin button from the main unit. But how?
The original .zon file for the Extender had "OnTrackSelection MapSelectedTrackFXToMenu", but I don't want that to happen when I select a track. I want it to only happen when I press the Plugin button on the main X Touch unit.

And thanks so much for the help! Although I'm newly registered on this forum, I've been visiting it for years to look for Reaper related answers and it's such an amazing community!
