Has anyone built a script to use 2X AKAI APC40 MKII in parallel?

Hi, I am trying to maintain all clip launching functionality etc, but just assign individual MIDI CCs to the secondary APC, as otherwise the values there are duplicates on the faders etc.

I made a script that achieves this but once I load it, the APC functionality for clip launch etc (blue box around cells next to red box of first APC) is gone.

Is there a workaround or does anyone have a script that achieves two APC s next to each other where the cells can still be moved as one row of 16 across 5 down like in this screengrab with both the APCs in default mode?

Alternatively has someone already made a script for using two APC40MKII in parallel?

Thank you!
