Gotta check this out.

Ok... Is there a way to manually assign MIDI channels to controls? :D

No, actually, the "Select" or "On" button on BC mixers is pretty much an
inverted "Mute" button. But not 100% exactly, because historically, BC
mixers have different buses, e.g. for talking to the producer in the
control room or for talking to guests in the studio off air. So
precisely spoken, that "On" button is more like a "Send to broadcast
bus" button. Some BC mixers additionally have a "Mute" button in the
strip which kills the signal pre-fader, means that input would be muted
on all buses at the same time.

From this point of view, a "Select" module with a button in the fade
view would be beneficial to people who are used to BC workflows.

Ok, I'll play around with that some more. However a double- or
right-click dropdown would be a very simple solution (for the user).

Very cool, I was actually looking at the X-Touch Compact because it
already has a pretty "broadcasty" layout :). Does the Behringer USB-MIDI
interface work in Linux or do you use an additional MIDI-interface?
