Big thanks for XX module Ben! Finally we have mulimapping in VCV Rack! Since here are whole 4 knobs per one control I have some suggestion on possible improvement and even go to the modular midi mapping side. So let's imagine we have mapped to the one knob Transit, Midi-CAT and Remove at the same time. I've already check how Remove works and it works nicely btw. So I'm talking about switch of master control in right click menu (expander maybe would a bit better especially with CV input for sort of sequential switching but it an esoteric a bit))). This initial mode in this last commit would be the one, second would be for the first mapped knob, third would be for the second one and etc. Actually master mode on specified knob would be disabling the other knobs. So we can switching between remove automation and fixed transit states and even between midi-cat mapping quite fast even you consider to add it only in right click menu - it's still faster than permanent remapping and other boring stuff. Cheers!

Hi Artem. I'm not yet sure how a good workflow could look like. At the moment the top-most knob has the highest priority on changing the parameter's value but just for each audio sample. If another knob tries to set the parameter's value one sample later it will succeed, resulting in jumping value. Maybe some sort of "cool-down" phase or something could be helpful. Adding your "master knob" functionality should be no problem.
