i think i worked it out 

for some reason when creating the input?? for the xtouch extender in MIDI/CONTROL SURFACE  (add new controller)

Ihave to select mackie XT and i got it to work...im sure i tried that a million times..but anyway

funny that i dont have to do that in CBB,,,

now what i cant get it to do in CBB or SONAR is get my left most xtouch( the xtender) to be track 1

and go across to the main xtouch and that start as trk 8.

I remember going thru this a few years ago when i frst set it up

i dont think its complicated but i just cant remember how to do it.

Again your help is most welcome
