Hi there,
i noticed that the midi implementation of the "SEL" buttons is different than using the mouse to click on them.

Current Mouse State:
When using the mouse to click on a SEL button, all previous selected SEL buttons get deselectet.

Current Midi State:
When using a midi controller mapped with the SEL buttons, the newly selected SEL button gets added to the previous selection.

Expected Behaviour:
I think it should be the same way than using the mouse to select them.

Workaround:
Use Macro Buttons to select SEL buttons (buses) and deselect all Buses you dont want to be selected:
Bus(0).Sel=1
Bus(1).Sel=1
Bus(2).Sel=0
Bus(3).Sel=0
Bus(4).Sel=0
Bus(5).Sel=0
Bus(6).Sel=0
Bus(7).Sel=0

Feedback would be great.

Have a nice day

anyone?

not a single statement

yes, using mouse to SELECT BUS is exclusive (Single-Select) also used for monitoring option.
(use CTL to select /deselect several BUS = Multi-Select).

because there is no CTL button on MIDI Controller, the MIDI implementation is in Multi-Select mode.

OK,

so the default when using a mouse is different as if using a midi controller.
thats not what i expect if i just change the input device. but ok.

I just expected the behaviour to be the same no matter what input device i use.

In the real world Soundcraft and/or Yamaha do use the "single select and delete" method.
But if you hold a select button, you can add others to the selection, like in your implemetation with CTRL.

That means because I'm familiar with those mixing desks, i expected the same behavior.

That means, I have to use the workaround with MacroButtons?

Greetings

thanks to share your experience on hardware mixing console, we note all requests.

but you can see we have different constraints to manage...
the mouse click is a quick access to a single mix + monitor on SEL (see option in system settings).

While MIDI control can be done with one button for each SEL button.
For the moment we cannot implement advanced behavior with MIDI controller.
