How can a control that is a sub and a super be set to send its value?

Question

I have a knob (knobTest) that can have values from 0 to 2. It sends out a sysex message that includes the knobs value.

It works fine on its own.

There is a momentary button that is its supercontrol (stepTest) which is a stepper.

When stepTest is tapped, knobTest sends its SysEx.

HOWEVER, if I add subcontrols (a button group) of knobTest, I haven't found a way for it to send its sysex. Its subcontrols are really just for display (colored momentary buttons whose color indicates the knob value).  (I would actually love for the subcontrols to actually not send anything but that doesn't seem to be an option)

I have tried every combination of sub and supercontrols and cannot find a way to get knobTest to send out its sysex when it has this button group as a sub.

Please help.

ANSWERING MY OWN QUESTION: You need to turn on the global option in configuration for super controls to send their values. I hope that this will be made a local and not global option so that one can turn this on only for those supers that need it.

Answer 1

Make similar knob and use same stepper for both knobs. One knob for color, one for sysex.

as soon as your knob is a master control it won’t send it’s own data unless you check in config options that ‘supercontrol sends its own data’. This can be an obstacle if the layout requires also Subcontrols without send it own data later on.  A work around is simple an extra knob with same ticks that send the sysex. Don’t make it a supercontrol and hide it. Use same stepper for both knobs, the knobs operate simultaneously.
