So I found the settings in the plugin on the FEEDBACK tab.  I changed the WAI to Align: 1 and Track: 1 and clicked on the INITIAL box.  Now the WAI just shows on the single track I've clicked on.  FANTASTIC!!

You're right bout the bank and channel buttons not playing nicely but it doesn't matter since I'm selecting the tracks with the mouse, one at a time.

This is a great improvement, for sure.

WAI is a position. Width influence visual representation in Sonar (the number of strip highlighted) and has no other meaning. But internal X-Touch logic "think" it works with 8 strips, so channel buttons move to let say strip 2 in the WAI. AZ Controller get no info the controller has switched to the second strip (it think the controller works with 8+9 strips all the time).

Align:1 (in my mod logic) will move the bank to current strip. It is more "heavy" then Align:8, it has to re-send all information (about 8 strips) every time you change strip, Align:8 is not really changing anything as long as you are in the current bank. But I don't know if X-Touch auto-switch to currently chosen strip within bank (I have assumed yes). If not, Align:1 is the only way to force following.

I can tell you that this is the behavior I was hoping for out of the Touch One, regardless of whatever else noise is going on in the background.  As long as I can click on a track and the controller knows where I am without having to change banks, I'm happy. And that's what we've got right now.

Next up...as limited as it would be with just one fader, one encoder and a jog wheel, I need to figure out how to control plugin knobs.  Currently, I've not been able to move even one knob on a plugin.

And, even more importantly, to see if I can manipulate automation on varying parameters. So far I've only been able to use the fader for volume and the encoder for stereo balance control.

There is no corresponding buttons on device... I mean to switch into plug-in control mode.

You can re-assign something, f.e. Fx keys. Good start is to have at least "Par" and "Dyn" assigned to some existing buttons. That is for "normal" mode (default) and "ACT Dynamic mapping" mode ("Dyn"). Note there are sub-variations of these modes, if you press the button while already in corresponding mode.

Well, one fader and/or one knob is only good for something "simple", like in https://www.azslow.com/index.php/topic,206.0.html But that will need a dedicated preset for this device.

Perhaps I should just be happy this one is working as well as it is and pick up a more dedicated device to tweak knobs.
