Default >99 channels of osc/midi volume control

This gentleman ran in to a limitation of Reapers action list.

I suggest upping that limit to 256 channels, i.e. an midi/osc action to control the volume and pan of channels 1-256 each, instead of just 1-99 like it is now.

That said, a more general solution could be to integrate any midi-producing device, by integrating OSCII-bot together with a frontend to midi-learn all available control resources and then mapping those on to a general OSC control surface plugin. That would be a dream for many folks. Make a bankable control surface out of any midi gear. Maybe even with auto-feedback scripting per midi-learned control. That is a much better challenge.

I think the best solution would be actions with parameters.

Yep. This is really needed, like it's done in ReaperOSC files. Commands and arguments (maybe, more than 1). This would be helpful with OSC commands, but not possible with midi or hotkey assigns.

A few years later, Hans Zimmer with a new device: "I had trouble with the limitation of 256 tracks but I have a workaround using groups."

I am a noob so maybe there is better way to get it done but I use this to select tracks:
https://github.com/me2beats/rea-me2/...rack%20100.lua

To be honest I find it a little rudimentary and tedious because I've got hundreds of tracks in my templates so I have lots of lua files:
"Select track XXX.lua"
"Select track XXX.lua"
"Select track XXX.lua"
"Select track XXX.lua"
...
