If I built a 16-knob macro control device...

[LithiuMind]

Could I make the 16 knobs to be accessible from remote scripts? I know that typically the remote scripts will only give you access to the 8 macros available in a standard "grouped rack". Is it even possible to alter what is accessible by the remote scripts? Do I have to create a custom python script for this to work properly?

The apc40 allows you to move through the macros of a device in groups of 8, it's just racks that have 8 macros (plus device on and chain selector)

What is it you're looking to actually acheive?

I'd like to be able to give my racks 16 macros instead of 8. The eventual goal would be that I could have 16 arbitrary midi CC numbers that would automatically lock onto these 16 macros once the track containing the rack was selected.

This way I could create Instrument Racks with 16 rather than 8 predefined "macro" controls, and I could have my midi controller lock onto those 16 knobs by selecting the track that the Instrument Rack is located in.

I can do this right now with the standard 8 knobs included in an instrument rack by using customized remote scripts, however the easily editable "user configuration" .txt file only allows to map to the 8 standard macros. Just want to find a way to bump that up to 16.

Also, I think most of the work has been done for me by the Covert Operators in their "Sixteen Macros" m4l device. If I can figure out now a way to have this device map/unmap from the 16 midi CC#s when I select or de-select a track which contains the device, I should be golden...

Totally doable, theres no limitations in the remote scripts for 8 parameters, its just thats the way its currently designed and most of the framework is built. If you are going to build a custom device, you'd probably want a customised remote script for it anyway. Drop us an email, maybe we can help each other...

There's also a _Framework compatible version of a DeviceComponent that controls 32 knobs in the Codec CS, available with Monomodular. Feel free to rip it out and use it for your own designs.
