If clock input is present, the Ext/BPM knob doesn't get saved/loaded correctly #60

I was learning this plugin and had the clock knob set to 120 BPM, but when i'd close and restart rack, the knob reverted back to Ext. I realized this was because I also had the clock input connected to another module, and of course I understand that it doesn't really make sense to leave the clock input connected if you're using the built-in clock, but it was pretty confusing behavior and probably not the correct desirable behavior.

Hi @machty, so to clarify this issue, it’s when you restart Rack or reload your patch, it’s reverting to ext if you leave a patchcord in the clock input?

@ValleyAudio I had to actually try it out again to recall the exact behavior or source of confusion (I'm a bit less of a noob than I was so it's harder to imagine having this confusion), but yes, you stated it correctly. In short, uGraph's BPM knob is a knob that should retain its value between saves, even if its value is being disregarded because an external clock is plugged in.
