- Make one XY-controller widget for each head/group you want to controll individually.
- Put each widget in a frame.
- Asign joystick output to each of the XY-widgets.
- Use the enable/diable switch for each frame to controll wich frame you want to manipulate with the joystick.

If you want an even smoother solution:
- Use a loopback universe.
- Asign 8 toogle buttons to dummy fixtures in the loopback universe.
- Asign loopback channels 1-8 as inputs to enable/disable your XY-controllers.
- Put your 8 buttons in a Solo Frame.
