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.
