Layer selecting while using Mackie Control control surfaces

Hello,

first of all I would like to thank you so much for creating such an amazing DAW, I'm loving it.

Lets say that I'm using 1 Mackie Control Universal and 5 MCU Extenders. They work wonderfull with Reaper, so I have 48 channels + master to control, the issue is when I select 1st channel in Reaper, it sets to "first" layer" automatically, and when selecting channel 49 it automatically changes to the "next layer" changing up 48 channels. Thats fantastic. But I tried to map a buttons to a shortcuts "select 1st channel" and "select 49th channel" (of course I have created action to first deselect all channels) from action list but it doesn't seem to change layer automatically like clicking on a channel 1st and 49th in a DAW.

Could you help me please? Or could you kindly try to fix that? That is the only thing I miss in Reaper. Sorry for my english, thank you Reaper Team and take care,
Greetings!

You posted this in the wrong forum section.

Anyway, there's a distinction in Reaper between 'selected' track and 'touched' track. I assume the layer switching works on 'touched track' (can't test because I don't have a MCU).

To check, after you've run action e.g. "select 49th track", run the action "Set first selected track as last touched track". If the layer switching works now, you can build your "select tracks" macros which contain this action.
