I suppose it depends on what software you are trying to control,
however, if you want to have banks of 8 tracks, you can use mackie preset.
It is all in one preset, have you looked at that?

I did a video tutorial, using Ableton Live, for controlling pans,
sends and plugins. 

Mackie mode is very powerful - in fact, I have wasted the last year
life thinking about it.  
Here is a link to my experiences with mackie mode.

You get control on tracks 1-8, for pan, send, faders, mutes, arms,
solos etc...and other stuff.
You get a bank knob, to bank down to the next set of tracks 9-16,
17-24, 25-36... etc (however many tracks you have).  This does not use
changing preset on the bcr. It is all in 1 preset on the bcr.
You get a master fader, and a jog wheel, markers,  as well as transports.

Your right of course - that crazy cross thinking can get really confusing.
Remembering what note to push to control faders or pans, might be hard
to remember too. Remembering which preset would control what might be
tough too... What if you have more than 8 tracks?

So - what software are you trying to control?

Try the mackie preset I made or someone elses.
