Chrisma I understand that. That is why posed the question to Cakewalk and Novation. I gave up a while back too BTW. Couldn't figure out how Automap would know if Prochannel was open let alone which instance. Seems like something that could be easily be resolved with a special preset created by Novation if they and Cakewalk got together. Definitely would be mutually beneficial for them. ProChannel is sweet and Novation makes great control surfaces. So... What say you Cakewalk and Novation?
