Midi map lost when assigning to knobset

General

If I assign my Roto-Control to a slider within VCV rack and then try and assign the same slider to a knobset knob, the midi map is removed. Is this normal behaviour?

Yeah, from within VCV there’s no way to map MIDI and a knob to the same parameter. It also replaces the mapping if you go the other way: create a knob mapping with the MetaModule, and then create a MIDI mapping with the VCV MIDI Maps module, then the Maps module will erase the MetaModule’s mapping. It’s been a while since I’ve looked at that bit of code, but I recall it being due to how Rack handles the “remote control knob” feature (paramHandles). Maybe there’s a creative way to work around that, but we would still have the issue of the Rack Maps module erasing MetaModule mappings.

So, the only way to double-map a parameter is to do it from within the MetaModule.

Thanks, I thought as much. I only found this out because I wanted to see if @etcetc Roto control fiddling worked (which it does), so I’ve actually not got a use for having both mapped anyway, I was just curious.
