You didn't mention where the button is. Laptop key, or MIDI controller button.

X-Touch Extended -> MackieControlXT

Perfect!!! Thanks. Is that documented somewhere? Is that the intention of the XT control surface type?

I have 1 Behringer X-Touch connected. Works great. I added a Behringer X-Touch Extended. They are both connected successfully. 2 Mackie Control devices in the MIDI Preferences. Inputs and Outputs set properly to their respective devices. Yet, they both respond as if they're channels 1-8. Works fine ...
