I can’t figure out how to solve this.
I can control the slider with my apc 40 slider and it controls the TD patch as expected. I can drag the slider with mouse and it behaves as expected. when i move my apc40 fader AFTER using the mouse with the slider, it no longer works and i have to re-export the chop back to the slider to control with midi. how can i get midi control and mouse control for the same slider without breaking it?
video of the issue here:
i think i solved it using a bind chop. not sure how it fixed my dilemma, but it did.
Hi @ferventwindow,
Exports and references to channels via expressions (the green and blue modes of a parameter) are one way references between channels and parameters or objects in general and parameters.
Every time you manually change a value of a parameter in export or expression mode - just like in case when moving the UI of the slider - the parameter will jump back into constant mode.
Binding on the other hand Binding is a Parameter Mode that ties two or more parameters’ values together, where changing the value of any one of the bound parameters changes all of them. The Bind CHOP expands this idea to CHOPs and adds additional functionality to allow controlling a value from multiple sources. In connection with the midi controller, the bind now allows you to control the value via the slider and the slider’s value itself can also be controlled via the value coming from the Bind CHOP. Additionally when changing the value of the slider via the UI, the value stored in the parameter is returned to the Bind CHOP and accessible there via the callbacks attached to the Bind CHOP making it possible to send these back to the inputs - like your midi device.
Hope this makes sense
cheers

binding solved it!!
