Surface Mapping Workflow

[Imworkinonit]

Things that would make life easier:

1 Start crosspoints at 1 instead of 0.
2 Allow surface to display current setup while making changes
3 Have input names reflect current names in the session
4 Have session and surface crosspoints match positions

Yes to all those points. I've brought this up before. Assigning / modifying the control surface is Way harder than it should be.

Agreed. The assignment workflow is terrible and wildly time-consuming. Ideally, it would be an external app that you could use to create your switcher "looks", then just import them before the show. Grass and Sony both have this capability. You can practically pre-build your entire show before you ever set foot in the truck.

Anyone know how to just clear a button in mapping so I can drop one in without the whole surface shifting over to make room? This is ridiculous!!!!

Nope, it's a complete rebuild each time. There has got to be a better way.
