It reads that this is what you're looking at. That's my personal approach - I prefer to keep it very clear which app is the current target, rather than having to remember how the controller is split up. Switching is pretty fast, and doesn't require bringing the target app to the front. > To my way of thinking the ideal would be to have certain buttons & > faders on the LC/MC controlling Logic and other buttons & faders on > the same LC controlling Totalmix.

I can see that some will find this useful, epsecially for the master fader, a few buttons and jogwheel, and this will be possible using LC Xmu, with the following limitations (at least in the initial version): You must use the older LC module with Logic, and boot the surface in MC-mode, so Logic can't hog the surface. You should preferably specify that a single target app has control over writing to the LC's display, (LCD, assign, transport, LEDs and v-pot rings), because: While you can use LC Xmu to remap or split LC buttons, the corresponding button LED feedback is NOT remapped or split at present. So if you want to remap/split buttons, using buttons without LEDs is somewhat preferable. The LCD display can't be split. It's unlikely I'll ever support this, it would be an awful lot of work. It is possible to allow multiple apps to write to it, but the results can be a bit messy. You shouldn't currently remap a motorfader, ie fader 1 should stay mapped to fader 1 regardless of the target app, to ensure fader feedback goes to the correct motorfader. This does not preclude app-splitting however. Ditto for v-pots, if you want the appropriate led-ring to be lit for the correct v-pot. Reverse-mapping the feedback for remapped faders, vpots and LEDs is technically possible however, and this may occur as a later update.
