[Rwp] My! Lord! am I impressed!

Just to be absolutely certain, can you clarify what makes you say its focused? I don't doubt you can manipulate master track parameters from the surface, but are there any indications other than this? For example, do actions that describe themselves as working on the last touched track suddenly start working on the master? The reason I ask is that I didn't think a surface affected REAPER's idea of the last touched track as far as keyboard was concerned, especially because on most surfaces; you're working with multiple tracks at once.
