I'm using a VCM-600 and found that when I map a button to a device-title-bar (let's say an effect rack) that button gets no visual feedback until the device is in focus.
This should work just like the channel selection to have midi feedback until it's in focus.

The second very similar problem is with chain zone selection. When I map a button range (lets say 4 buttons to chain zone 0-3 to select specific chains of effects) there is no visual feedback of the selection either.

This second problem could be easily fixed if the BankButtons for effect racks in instant mapping would control chain zones 0-7 like
Bank1Button - Chain Selector value 0
Bank2Button - Chain Selector value 1
etc..

because bank buttons have no function at effect racks, and do have midi feedback.

Is there a workaround for this?

Another feature would also be great, if there is only one chain selected, it could jump to focus.
Alternatively the chain names should be midi mappable, to map them on the same button as the Chain Selector values, however this would conflict with the BankButtons instant mapping solution, so Chain Selector vaules should have midi feedback anyway to give proper visual feedback.

I found a workaround for the second midi light feedback problem for VCM-600.
At the effect racks it's possible to assign the effect buttons to the Speaker On button next to each effect in the chain.
You don't need to use chain select, audio can go through all the effects at the same time, and only enable the effect you need.
This way you can play 8 effects/return channel (even play multiple fx) and get light feedback as well.
