Custom Control banks 5-8 access on switcher panel?

Production Switchers
1

Is there any way to access CC banks 5-8 on the 16-button control panel (only has buttons for 1-4)? I know I can access those banks via DashBoard, but I need to be able to do this on the switcher control panel itself; our directors call, punch, operate our video server and Xpression, and one more screen isn’t possible. I thought I might be able to set them as user buttons, but I can’t set those as CC…only ME, AUX, MiniME, AUX or MultiScreen. I can’t find anything else in the manual or on the forums…

Thanks for any help.

I forget the exact key combination, but I believe that when you hit one of the bank buttons you have the option to scroll between banks with the menu knobs.

Unfortunately you have to do this each time you want to select one of the higher banks. If you’re constantly switching banks/auxes/keys, having to stop to spin the knob to select a specific bank isn’t very wieldy.

I would much rather be able to assign them to a user button like you mentioned, or perhaps a double tap.

There might be some way to setup a GPI in Ross Dashboard and create a CC on each bank to recall 5-8. I will explore next time I am in my control room.
