Hi Bob,
I know what it does, and why, but consider this:
I'm running a live show and I want to put it in cue mode and make some mods to cues (running or not). First I have to select the cue before I can twiddle rot/pos knobs or press efx I want to add to it. Why shouldn't I be able to click on select mode and then use the APC40 to select the cue in question. You're already giving visual feedback on selected cue (blinking) why not go one step further?
Or am I missing something basic?
Thanks,
