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.

This is superb, well done sir! Can’t wait for this

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

Appreciate you are busy busy, but is there any movement on this?

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! 
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… 
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.
This is a short demo with roto control and meta module.
Roto control is controlling the cv funk step wave, which controls an intellijel plonk. The rest are my produced ableton clips. Sorry about the video quality.
Could someone please share their settings on the Roto control to get this to work. For whatever reason I had the bidirectional working and all of a sudden it stopped responding to knob movements from the MM!!
@sonalsystem I have it set up through a Conductive Labs MRCC so bidirectional works pretty seamlessly. To start with, I downloaded the generic Roto Control template (below) so that every knob and button is configured with a MIDI CC. The only problem (workflow hinderance) is that if you set up a patch in VCV you can only map either a roto control cc or a MM knob but not both. Once the patch is on the MM you can then map the other control. Apart from that, the settings on Roto are default.
Are you getting any input to the MM from Roto? What exactly can’t you do?
@etcetc Did you get any further with getting the labels from the MM to the Roto Control or that just wishful thinking?
I have an experimental firmware that I’ve been using for that and it does work. Please try this at your own risk, it’s a fairly hacky implementation and I have not tested this thoroughly or seen if it breaks compatibility with other MIDI controllers. There may also be performance hits, but I’ve tried to minimize those where possible.

Wow thanks, I’ll try this tomorrow
Thanks for the tips. I’ll try it today! Ive been trying to map it to VCV as well from within Bitwig. the issue there is the roto control plugin mode is useless because the VCV is never really the same every time. I ended up using the midi mode to map CCs and save the Midi setup as its own thing ie. Plaits, e352, etc.
