Ok - after about 20 mins I have a prototype for trial. It will, still do mackie mode. When you press arm on the Encoder groups - the upper pots will cursor up/down and fire with push button. I also have it automatically selecting the ch when you turn the knob. It will need some tweaking... I will post it up in about an hour or so.
