Okay, now that the description has gone further, I understand what is going on. Too bad because it sounded promising haha.

For vst's, live not only allows you to hit Configure to map your favorite controls (automatically mapped to blue hand+ bank select support), but the last unmapped spot becomes a controller of anything you happen to select within the vst GUI. (on my Novation Remote mkII it sometimes even takes a stab at showing the parameter name and type of measure)

Pretty limited application, but can still come in handy! I believe a good way to implement this would be to map 7 spots to controls, and leave the 8th spot blank so that knob 8 can be a variable control knob.

It would have excited me quite a but if this applied to track levels, sends, and any selected parameter on Live's native devices

Ah! That explains why I can use Macro 1. I never map anything in my VSTs. This feature combined with the MEGAMaschine template + Selected Track Control makes for an awesome workflow. I can control all features of the native Live interface with my Maschine and control all parameters of all my plugins with the mouse + Maschine. I use my right hand to click on a control in the GUI and use my left hand to rotate the encoder on the Maschine. It may seem like extra work to use the mouse, but I prefer it to flipping through pages of controls in Mackie mode looking for the right encoder.
