more efficient bus or remote concept

[joffo78]

Hello .
i often need to control several objects with one remote.
For example each rack has a knob to control pitch, and i create a "meta" rack with a selector to switch between rack with on lonely knob.
I manage to do that (here is the example ) But it's very complex and heavy
for the cpu because it needs 2 bus for each control.
Do you think it would be possible to have an integrated concept which do the same ?
I think it would be very usefull for a lot of people.
Thanks.

Hi, I looked at your example and maybe I am not getting it as intended, but presuming that the inefficiency comes from when you add more controls that you need two buses for each one? If so, have you considered using get/set arrays to convert parameters data to array and be able to use just one get and set arrays bus in each patch? Also you could change name of a single send/receive bus in meta rack instead of using selector to select between buses?

Hello Thanks for your answer. I 'had already work with array for this kind of operation and it doesn't change the complexity of the system.

Interesting suggestion.
Actually I dont know how to do that in the general case, not only for rack or you precise needs.
maybe a concept of "linked" controls with a "link name". So the select fader should be replaced by a combo?

thinking about you suggestion.
I can't find a soluce actually without seriously slow down the overall system.
Eventually I could take a look on a solution like:

Thank you Senso for your answer and your very clever solution.
Unfortunatly it dosen't work for me because it works only with a mouse, not if your fader is control by midi or osc.
