flipped flex fader on sc48?

[jbialek]

Hello All.

One of our guys was running an sc48 for monitors last week and came across something I haven't thought of yet. He was mixing his auxes in flipped-fader mode for a band that had 17 inputs. In order to get to all the channels, he put that 17th input on the flex channel for easier access. What he noticed, however, was that when the console was in FTF mode, the flex channel's fader retained its role as a master volume fader, and could not be used to contribute to an aux, like the others. The aux adjustment was available on the encoder above the flex channel's fader, however.

So, my long-winded question is this:
Is there a way for the flex channel to obey the Flip to Faders' command? If not currently, is it possible in a future software update? It seems like it would be a cool option to have.

Thanks for your time.
