Avoiding problems when connecting midi loop

i have ot sending midi to mnm and mnm midi back to ot.

this should give me a lot of cool options i guess, but so far only problems.

ot is master and mnm not sending sync or transport or anything, but i would like to use mnm to cc control ot params.

question, does note priority work like on tempest where external midi note always has priority?

it seems so when playing mnm fm with both ot and mnm, and that is very cool!
