limited buss choice available for key inputs [SOLVED]

[bjkiwi57]

I can't get all my busses to show up as selections on my compressor key inputs. I have many busses set up for reverbs, delays, submixes etc and then set up a separate buss to send my kick drum, or click, signal to key a compressor on my synths.
Only 8 stereo busses are showing up as available to choose as a key trigger but I have many more than 8 busses in use (yes, I know I can only choose a mono signal to trigger from, but that's beside the point)
Is there a priority system of busses to choose as key input triggers?? .. can I only select from 8 busses?? .. and if so, how do I get my buss I have chosen as a trigger to show up as a choice in the key input menu??

Yes, I RTFM but can't find any reference to this limited choice anywhere.

Yes, I also posted this in Pro Tools (Mac) but thought it might be a PT11 or AAX problem.

Scratching my head .. am I missing something here??

Hi,

Do all your stereo busses also have mono sub paths? Don't think any busses which are stereo only are available as key inputs!

Glad you got it sorted. For others, be aware that you can add buses to your list at any time(up to the max of 256 IIRC). Just open Setup>IO>bus tab and add paths(maybe add 12 mono and a few more stereo, just to be set for the future).
