Bug Description

I imagine a GUI control like a knob or fader being temporarily highlighted when the hardware counterpart's signals are in sync again.

Or a hint when GUI controls diverge from last known MIDI input, like some controller sliders do when switching from deck 1 to 3.

Right now, you'd have to look closely if the GUI moves according to the physical comntrol. This is kinda stressing, even more when it's an EQ or filter knob for example, where minimal movements could massively affect the master sound.

This applies to any softTakeover situation i.e. to EQs when switching decks 1/2 and 3/4 on a 2-deck controller. The idea came up when thinking about how to control rate_ultra* with a controller, which probably involves something like using the Shift level of another control already in use.

A transparent "ghost" control would be really handy
