Mapping chain selecter to keys

I want to be able to move the rack chain selecter with computer keys i.e. Having one group of effects assigned to number 1, next to number 2 etc. but it seems I can only assign 1 key.
Is there a way around this?

you cant assign the solo button either in the chains :-(

they should really add this feature soon....

@ musiclee

you should investigate doing this with dummy clips

it seems possible.

the top video will show you how to use dummy clips to trigger effects chains.
follow the tutorial, then just 'key learn' each dummy clip.

Don't know if it helps but you can select the chain in an Audio Effect Rack by using the keys of your midi-keyboard. To do so click "Midi (learn)" top right, then select the chain selector, press first key (let's say C2), then press another one while the first key is still pressed (i.e. C5).

Now you have defined a range of notes to control the rack selector and you're able to select FX with your keyboard (like with Sugarbytes Artillery plugin).
