Hello everyone, I have another question. How can I reset all the frequency knobs at once with a single button? The situation is as follows. I have a patch that is controlled by a MIDI controller. Everything is working as expected. Many parameters are used by the controller, including Bogaudio LFOs. You can see this from the yellow dots. Now I also have the frequency knobs from the LFOs with the use of the MIDI CAT, which receives signals from my controller. Now the question is… How can I reset all the frequency knobs, (normal double Click), at once with one button without losing the MIDI CAT mapping? I’ve tried many things, but nothing works. Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this problem? Thank you very much.
I didn’t think this was possible with existing modules, but then I looked through the Stoermelder catalog and discovered a module I had never used before . . .
. . . @Stoermelder X4 to the rescue!
coupled with Stoermelder Transit
You have 6 LLFOs and each X4 can control two parameters, so you will need 3 X4s.
- Map the six X4 channels to your LLFO frequency knobs
- Map your 6 midi controller knobs to the first (top) knob of the six X4 channels.
- Use the Transit “Bind multiple parameters” context menu option to bind the second knob of the six X4 channels
- Manually initialize all six LLFO frequency knobs, put Transit in write mode, and click the top Transit button. Restore Transit to read mode.
- Set the Transit Fade time to 0
Now you can control the frequencies with your midi controller, and any time you want you can reset (initialize) all frequencies by pressing the top Transit button.
If you want you could map a midi controller button to the Transit button.
During testing I ran into a weird issue (bug?). For one of my X4 instances the second knob for one of the channels refused to work. So I mapped to the third knob instead.
Update - I had some communication with Ben and learned that I had inadvertently disabled the Read option for that “broken” X4 knob in the context menu. Re-enabling it solved the problem. It is actually a cool feature. You can disable Read, and then map a CV-Pam to that knob. CV-Pam will then generate a voltage that responds to the current X4 value.

Thanks for your quick response. I’ll try that out even though I don’t quite understand it. But first I’ll try out what I have understood and get back to you later. Many thanks for your help and also thanks to @stoermelder for creating such awesome modules.

VCV normally allows only one mapping per control.
X4 gives you 4 knobs per channel, each of which controls the same target control. Now you have four knobs to map to, so you can have up to four different mapping controllers affecting the same control.
Watch the GIF video in the x4 documentation if it still doesn’t make sense.

After hours of trying, I finally managed it. The problem was that I was using a nightly build version “Stoermelder-P1-2.1.0-ebc8a04-win-x64” from November 22. And Transit was broken. You couldn’t write or read. Now I have Ben’s “Stoermelder-P1-2.1.0-87f5ac8-win-x64” and this version works as desired. Now I only use Transit and 3X of the X4. Thank you both very much. Makes me happy. The Postman just came and brought me the Tascam Model 12. So today I have a lot to play with.

8face MK2 is great as well
No, that sets all the parameters. He wants just the frequency to be initialized.
ah, shoot!
