Hello,

please have a look to the index parameter at the ParamMod.
Index 1 switches mute 1, index 2 switches mute 2 and so on.
The Index selects the exact slider or button if there are several of it.

If you're using "MIDI Learn", then the main thing to watch out for is to make sure that each button is sending out a distinct CC value. (I find MIDI Monitor from snoize.com to be very handy in such cases). I ran a quick test with two stacks and was able to control mutes on both of them. One trick I do is, as I make the assignment, I push the button two or three times to make sure the assignment is working properly before I move to the next one.

If you know you're getting distinct CC messages, and it's still not working, email me off list...

Cheers,
Jim

many thanks for your work around solution. jim says it should work direct from the controller so ill re check everything and try that first.
