Hi,

Soon after the MetaModule announcement last year, I asked 4MS on this modwiggler thread if it would be possible for a module running on the MM to query and change parameters on other modules in the same patch. The [reply was … no (link to modwiggler)](https://www.modwiggler.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=4202865#p4202865). Later [I asked for some more info on that (link to modwiggler)](https://www.modwiggler.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=4208528#p4208528), but never got a reply. It would be really interesting to know from @danngreen if that feature is ever likely to be supported in the MM firmware.

I recently published my [beta testing - ready RSBATechModules VCVRack plugin](https://github.com/rjsmith/rsbatech-modules) ([see VCVRack forum thread](https://community.vcvrack.com/t/beta-rsbatechmodules-plugin-module-remote-control-with-touchosc-or-the-electra-one-midi-controller/23599/1)) that does provide 2-way parameter control of any mapped VCVRack module. I would love to be able to write a version that uses the same mapping library, but runs on the MetaModule, using Midi In/out to hook up to a TouchOSC or Electra-One smart MIDI controller. For this to be feasible, as well as access to the midi in/out stream, it would also need to be able to query and change state of other modules in a MM patch.
