Hello,
Is it possible to resend midi feedback to my controller when I change its preset ?
Or any other way to make my controller match Usine controls whenever I want ?
Thanks

I do this by triggering a create MIDI module from the recalling preset outlet on the preset manager (wired to a 1 to 0 module so as to create the MIDI once the preset has fully loaded) and sending that as "feedback" to my controllers. I know, not exactly the solution you are looking for but it is a good workaround. Maybe somebody has a better solution?

That's exactly the job of the UPD (update) button of the Master panel...?

Hmm, interesting. In my case I lean towards use of the create midi module so I can direct MIDI "feedback" to specific MIDI ports, as I have some CC # and channel overlaps between connected gear.

One question I have, would the "update" feature be better suited for queuing a burst oft MIDI CC's than sending the burst via create MIDI modules?
I ask because I have had a problem where not all CC's are accurately received by my devices when sending a burst of CC values. I have found a workaround of adding a Midi Unpack script before the MIDI port output with a wait cycles value of 1, but I would consider trying to lighten my workspace through use of direct MIDI feedback where I could without overlap between devices if I were assured I wouldn't at some point suffer the same issue.

not sure it will be better for your case, the update are for "normal" flow of Motorized devices

Ok thanks. I will try to find time for an A/B test and see if both can work the same. I could remove a lot of create midi and related modules in my already too large workspace if I can better utilize the midi feedback and update function.
