The devil is in the details, which probably doesn't surprise anyone. 
N1MM easily accesses Bank 1, just program an F-key macro to emulate 
REC-Hold [of course you can always just hold REC too :-)]  The bank 
switch is a toggle and thus, N1MM needs to know the current bank before 
switching since it might not need to switch.  I thought about starting 
and ending a Bank 2 macro with a REC-hold macro, but that kills the 
playback immediately.

I've never figured out a practical way to use Bank 2 from N1MM except 
dedicate an F-key to emulate a REC-hold and try and remember what state 
the DVR is in.  I forgot about 50% of the time.  It's not a problem for 
me because I don't operate many phone contests, and when I do, except 
for ARRL SS, my CQ is the only thing I record in the DVR.  Even for SS, 
4 is plenty.
