As the Program Mixer Pad Banks don't work and you only ever get shown the first 16 programs in the grid display how do you set programs above no16 to Sends? I can't find anywhere but within that area to set this value. Assuming you have no spare Subgroups left to waste one just to do this. You could do each pad/keyzone for sampled instruments (another nasty workaround) but doesn't help if using the pulgins. Is there really no way?

Sorry, could you explain exactly what you mean by the 'program mixer pad banks' don't work? Do you mean the +/- buttons at the top of the 'Send' screen for 'Channel Mixer > Programs'? The program select buttons at the top work for me as long as you have 17 or more programs in your project. Otherwise the +/- buttons are disabled (because they are not needed when there's 16 or less programs).

Thank you! I must have missed that when looking back through the manual. When you press the bank change button (A-H) it flashes up on screen and I thought in that view it would be changing which Programs were visible.
