Bank change via midi cc using focus actions

Hi. Just joined the forum and been using Beatmaker3 live successfully for a few years now. I’ve been trying to find a way how to change banks in Beatmaker3 vía Unreal book by setting a Specific CC number to each bank by using focus actions. Basically I want to pull up a chart in Unreal Book and have it send a midi cc to select the appropriate bank in BM3. I can get the focus action setup no problem with unreal book. Even though it’s setup, the bank in BM3 still doesn’t change. I’ve tried this unsuccessfully with midi fire as well. Is this a bug? It’s obviously communicating with BM3 since I can set the focus action.

midi controller with Macro control : how avoiding Midi Focus actions downside ?

Unless I’m mistaken, the problem when mapping the Macro controls using Midi Focus is that when you switch from one bank to another, the Macro value will « jump » to the one last set by its controller. Because my English sucks and the problem is not easy to describe, here’s an example : let’s say you tweak the Macro 2 on Bank A at a value of 80%. Then, in Bank B you want to tweak its Macro 2. If this one was originally at 0%, as soon as you touch the knob on your midi controller mapped the Macro 2, this one will jump from 0& to 70%, and this problem goes on and on from on bank to another. Since the Macro controls are meant to be used in live situations, you can see the problem. So far I didn’t find any solution to avoid this and there’s still no midi learn for Macro controls.
Any other users concerned by this behavior, any solution to avoid this problem ? Thank you for your help !
