That is extremely cool. Your point about forgetting knob mappings between setups is on the money. I am really tempted to get a Roto-Control now.

Again, magnificent. Quick question. what behaviour does unplugging / replugging the usb exhibit? (Use case being more than one MM in a rack)

Part of the hold up is waiting for me to review the PR, which includes bidirectional MIDI stuff.
It’s in the queue!

Glad to hear it, thanks for the update.

This is amazing news! :folded_hands: I assume bi-directional MIDI will work with any encoder based controller (like Midi Fighter Twister for example)?

It is magnificent, updated to 2.09 and roto-control 2.0 and I have stateful knobs. I am still yet to work out how the naming / saving on the rotocontrol as the new “notes” feature on the roto-control 2.0 buttons is expanding my brain at the moment, Thank you etcetc & Dan

Hopefully it should! We have only tested it on a few controllers. If you find an issue then please post a bug report and we’ll see if we can get to the bottom of it.

Wow, this is incredible. No posts since early July … anyone actually using this? Does it work just like the video?
If it works like I think it does, this will make my Nord G2 obsolote!

Yes, got it working after the firmware upgrade. Very clever, I didn’t get to the bit of having the roto-control remember / identify the module, but I didn’t try hard.

Just ordered the Roto yesterday - I’m really excited… :partying_face:
Can post my experience if desired!

Rotocontrol auto-naming plugins is still in the works. I have a version built but it’s very scrappily built and @danngreen is kindly working on some deeper infra changes that should make it possible such that the RotoControl automatically maps labels to its screens and controls.

I’ve been playing with the roto control for an hour. My meta patch is a seq 3 sequencing a modal synthesizer. The best way to map roto control to meta is by using the midi map module.

One issue I am having is that the buttons of roto control have to be pressed twice to activate/deactivate a step and the display of the step buttons get messed up.
