In case you didn't already know, the master track does seem to gain
focus if you bank left from track 1 using a control surface. I've only
tinkered briefly, but it seemed to work the same way with both HUI and
whatever protocol the AlphaTrack uses. Dunno if that info would enable
you to hack around any of the API annoyances, but shout if there's any
testing to be done and I'll hook a surface up.
