Something I’m liking here - I noticed multiple knobs can be mapped to a single destination. Please don’t remove this ! This is a byproduct when dealing with midi. Midi is not a coherent data structure which is seen in many-to-one mappings. There aren’t consistency rules for data integrity. So a value is written by circuit A, then circuit B overwrites it, tough luck for A. But this can be exploited - a musical machine is like a car - some personal responsibility is expected.
So here’s my use case - I need customized sequencer values to drive something external, about 3 lanes of 16. So 48 knobs. But dialing in the values, in theory at least, could be simplified by having each value controlled by multiple knobs. This couldn’t be done if we recreate modular exactly - voltage is voltage and stays consistent. Midi is easy though as said. So let’s say knob 1 changes 16 values in a sequence, knob 2 15, etc. We could change all values with knob 1, then perhaps go to knob 8 changing the second half. Not only facilitating a kind of group entry, but opening the door to rhythmic variation as well.
Mapping multiple only seems to work when spanning knob sets. Which is a feature rather than a fault because as far as I can tell VCV won’t allow it. It makes me suspect knob sets are related to midi channels, but whatever.
Please correct me if I’m incorrect or if a more straightforward solution exists. I haven’t tried it out yet. Trying to drive a AJH Matrix filter which has 16 models to select and can be switched at audio rates. When switching some clicks happen because of the filter topology differences, so a mute pulse needs to be used. Also thinking envelopes will need be inverted at times and cutoffs. Going off on a tangent but isn’t that the modular spirit ?
