If I understand the request the workflow is simple enough: select a single track in Reaper, the single track surface controller will select the same track.

From what I have gathered using control surfaces in Reaper is a PITA. While I have the impression that (some) hardware vendors sometimes don't make it easy for DAW developers, but also that Cockos has controls surfaces not very high on its priority list.

I thought about buying a XTouch One, but its odd that this very basic feature doesn't work. It's so basic that I didn't even expect it could not be working out of the box.

I'm fine with spending time to create a very personal worklflow, but I'm disappointed if any given software/hardware combination doesn't offer at least a useful out-of-the-box experience.

But it strikes me odd that there are issues as Beheringer ships the XTouch One even with Reaper UI overlay.
