Complex linking of toggles to dials

Question

MIDI Target Manufacturer(s): Chase Bliss

Just when I thought I was finished with an update to the Mood MKII layout I found an issue I was not able to solve. I have outlined it below and in a video. I'm not sure what to title this question - let me know and I can change it once it's been answered. Thanks so much.

The controls:

• What Dial 1 controls changes what it does on the pedal based on whether Tape, Env or Stretch is selected
• The toggles in 2 and 3 are used to quick toggle to set points on dial 1 (based on the mode selected)

What I want to achieve:

• Dial 1 to trigger corresponding points on 2 and 3
• Toggles 2 and 3 to trigger the dial to move to the point selected

What’s working:

• Moving Dial 1 triggers correct points on 2 and 3 when moved
• Toggle 3 triggers the dial 1 to jump to the correct point
• Toggle 2 sends the correct commands to the pedal

The problem to solve:

• Toggle 3 works fine at triggering the the dial to move to specific points. But I can’t get it working alongside using Toggle 2

Answer 1

Pretty neat layout. 

The issue is in the supercontrol / subcontrol "tree" arraignment.  There are times we do not allow a subcontrol to back drive a supercontrol:
- When a supercontrol has multiple subs (exception being a button "group" under a variable master)
- When a supercontrol has a combination of a button group and knobs, the knobs do not back drive <- this is your issue

These can backdrive a supercontrol
- a button group
- a single subcontrol

There may be a way to rearchitect the supercontrol/subcontrol relationship to get your desired result, but may take some thinking.
