you need only one assignment per left/right button for all View
modes.
Fader Bank for Current View
When this parameter is selected, eight additional checkboxes (for
the eight channel strip types) are displayed, when the View mode
is All. Depending on the Value mode, these switches define which
channel strips are displayed (by using Direct mode) or which are
toggled (by using X-OR mode).

These fader bank parameters are used in All View when only one
channel strip type is displayed. This allows you to switch between
several channel strip types, while retaining the current fader bank
for each type.
