Hey David, Thanks for you fast answer.

To be very honest I won't have enough free time those days to try your extension the way I'd like to "stress it" enough to ensure it's working good enough to be used for daily work. Probably later in January ...

For now please consider me as a conceptual interlocutor.

Might be just a temporary workaround, but it's good enough for me.
I for one (and, again, that's just me and maybe should I learn C and fork your github ) would need to have faders to move on zig zag fades.
I'd prefer to avoid any pan or parameter infos if that would help to have immediate responses.

Nice and clear Git Hub ! Too bad I don't do C for now (I keep some geek stuff to learn when I'll be 64)

I need some time to stress it enough to see if I experiment such glitches with your extension ...

As of now my extension supports wrapping tracks into folders / unwrapping and hiding / showing child tracks as well as changing track order in the MCP view, that's good enough for me.
Cool !

We had to think about nice ways to have touch controls before enjoying using it ...

Real faders is a must have. Touch screen faders are crap !
However touch surround pan and touch parametric EQs are dopes !

Yeah! I was thinking faders feel less cheap than pan pots. Faders are silent, nervous, and indeed, 10 bit resolution. That's good for me too.

I'll do.
We are changing or main computer this week and will have real world (with our new software) tests next week (and probably the week after).

Thanks for your time to create a native US 2400 csurf extension. I wish I could help you in a more concrete way ...
