It makes me tired when copying a module containing knobs.. these knobs are always changing their values to the mid position... is there any workarround? 🙁

I hadn't noticed this before but I see it now. It's not necessarily the mid position every time though, unless of course there are two issues here.

The problem comes from the Float Sample and Hold inside the RedrawLimiter module (which itself is inside the Preset module). When you move the knob the RedrawLimiter prevents unnecessary calculations from being performed. However, when you copy and paste the Float Sample and Hold inside the limiter has a different value from the one in the VST Parameter component and this gets sent down to the GUI parts and changes the display. The actual value of the knob doesn't change though, it's just the displayed value that is wrong.

I have worked out a fix that should sort this whilst still retaining the desired behaviour of the RedrawLimiter module. If you have an existing schematic go inside the Preset module of one of your knobs. Right-click on the RedrawLimiter module and select Synchronise All. This will put all the modules in sync. Now change what's inside the RedrawLimiter to what is shown in the attached picture. After that right-click on the RedrawLimiter module again and select Unsyncronise All.
