First up - first! šŸ˜€ Secondly - amazing work here, love the VCV integration and canā€™t wait to use the hardware. As for the request - could the MM somehow record and playback knob movements, and maybe even use the USB C connection via MIDI to sync these to MIDI clock? ---

Welcome to the forum! Thatā€™s an interesting idea. Certainly possible. Thereā€™s a suite of tools weā€™ll be adding in a future firmware, including signal analyzer, and multi-track recorder, and this could fit into that. ---

Thanks - good to know itā€™s possible. ---

2nd this feature! for reference: JW makes a great classic module called ā€œXY Padā€ that somehow conveniently stores the recorded movements inside the patch file (as opposed to having a bunch of CV .wav files floating about) > **[JW-Modules XY Pad](https://library.vcvrack.com/JW-Modules/XYPad)** > > Module for VCV Rack [VCV Library - Voxglitch XY](https://library.vcvrack.com/voxglitch/xy) - a similar one from voxglitch ---

This would be awesome +1 ---

+1 to this. basically ads modulation input to all paramtersā€¦ but just like the current bug where input cv causes cpu to overload and crash the patch, this would also cause CPU overload and crash the patchā€¦ See my other post ---

I agree that it would be very useful to be able to record the movements of the knobs of Meta. It would be awesome to be able to define a length of recording in bars (and time alternatively), to be able to sync/restart fader recording when inputting a clock/reset signal into Meta.
