So the issue I'm having is with quick grouping and the Console Emulator not working properly. When quick grouping tracks I can hold down CTRL and change parameters across all selected tracks with everything but the Console Emulator. When quick grouping and trying to change the console type or drive some tracks reflect the changes, some don't. What's going on here?

It's working for me, mostly.  While testing it, I see the following:
 
Expected results:
1) Select a group  of track with either Ctrl+Click or Ctrl+Click-n-Drag
2) Hold Ctrl and add emulator
3) Hold Ctrl and adjust settings and all change
 
Unexpected results:
1) While still holding Ctrl, de-select a track
2) Make an adjustment on the de-select track while still holding Ctrl and it adjusts the other grouped tracks.
3) Release Ctrl and change an emulator the de-selected track
4) Hold Ctrl and move the gain or trim on the de-selected track; all tracks responded to the settings
5) Other setting respond in weird ways as well like have moving the grouped tracks from S-Type to N-Type move the de-selected track from N-Type to A-Type.
 
It seems that grouping gets a little lost at times depending on holding or releasing the Ctrl key or making a change on a de-selected track.
 
Interesting stuff.

Whichever track you're making the change on will have focus and will therefore automatically be considered part of any Quick Group selection. So that's working as intended.
 
I think the issue with setting the Emulator type is probably due to the emulator not first being enabled on all tracks. And quick grouping the Emulator enable buttons doesn't seem to work as it does with other modules, so that might be the root of the problem.

I'm doing everything properly. There's no deselecting tracks here, then moving knobs there, and all Console Emulator modules were enabled together. Everything is being done in sync across all tracks at once. This is most likely another bug..

I have found that I must do each grouped command with a separate press of ctrl-click... And I must manually enable the console emulator ego re making any other changes...

Other PC plugins don't seem to need these considerations so there's something going on, but once I discovered the click-release process, it's been working fine...

A minor bug, but pita without the work around...
