More macro controls?

It it possible to assign more than 8 macro controls to a single efx rack? I'm trying to set up my live set using a bunch of effects, but I'm running out of knobs

i actually need like 16 more!!

i need to do this without nesting one rack inside another as this won't work with my current setup.

I also have one single device that needs 10 different controls, so i'm wondering if there's any way to nest that and have a total of 16 seperate macros.

Quick question: Why won't nesting work for your setup?
I have yet to find a use that doesn't work this way....

because i have one reaktor instrument that i need to map more than 8 controls to. As far as I know, nesting won't work for that... or will it? Is there a way to make a nested device link directly to the outer layer device?

In all my testing you can only assign a macro control to a nested device and from that nested macro control you can assign to the outer level... but not directly.

Tried to do that the other day too. I don't believe you can. You can only sync the nested macros to the upper level macros- can't get to the nested parameters.

Try mapping all the simpler ADSR's to macro's

yeah, well that's also slightly moronic, isn't it?

I mean, that's what the simpler gui is for

i think that's his point - it's moronic - he's pointing out that i'm a moron because i might as well use my reaktor gui. right?

well... er... can you map all of simpler's adsrs to macros?

I'm up for the challenge if it's possible!

of course you can...

-- just not individually.
