    Interesting to use 1-m routers. The first example with the routers doesn't make the buttons sync when you press the lock button, you have to turn the knob for syncing.

    Click lock button. Both knobs become same value. Turn either knob and the other has same value. Not sure exactly what master and slave is used for. I know on hard disks there is a setting, a set of pins you have to link to get that relationship but in synths I am not sure where they use that. In this master/slave knob implementation ens the slave knob doesn't turn if you turn it but the master does.

    Yes, that was the intentional functionality. There are different 'correct' approaches depending on the context.
    Sometimes you would want smoothing.
    In Echo Grease, I used knob synching on the read controls with one knob tracking at some selectable fraction of the other knobs value, so delay repeats could synchronise at triplets quarters etc. and the time can be varied without losing the relationship. The main knob jumps immediately, but the indicator (shows the active value) is smoothed so there are no abrupt transition unless you want them.
    IIRC this was complicated by the selectable log/lin settings, so the value from the master had to go through a bunch of logic and math before being sent to the slave.

    In this master and slave context, you could potentially have the master maintain a scaled version of whatever relationship currently exists between itself and the slave - could be useful...

    Bug. I had an icsend that had a range 1 to 128, and the knob had a range of 0 to 128. I think that's why the reaktor vst crashed in my Reaper daw.

    Set both 0 to 127 for 128 steps that's right.
