Hello everyone! I’m trying unsuccessfully to make my own Mod Duo X patches based on Cardinal plug in. There is a missing link I just cannot figure out. Can anyone help me step by step how to connect Cardinal app from the laptop with the Mod Duo X and how to transfer a Cardinal preset from the laptop to Mod Duo X? That missing link definitely contains some fundamental information i don’t know about making this devices communicate to one another. I appreciate any advice, thank you 
When you run the native/desktop version of Cardinal on your PC you can use the File->Deploy to MOD option (or F7 key) to push the current patch to the MOD unit via USB.

Hello. I hope it’s going well for you.
Just some suggestions and best practices from my experience.
The version I have is File > Connect to Remote. When Auto deploy to remote is checked, you can make adjustments in your PC version (I use my DAW).
I like to open a clean pedalboard in the Duo with one Cardinal DISTRHO module. Once I like what I have I save the patch in the module. If I have more than one instance of the Cardinal module then I can’t control which version I’m pushing a patch to.
Patches that are too busy or use heavy processing like Plateau can cause the CPU to spike in the Duo. In those instances I will strip out the delays and reverbs then apply the Duo delay/reverb modules in the pedalboard.
My PC audio interface doesn’t support CV so I can’t build a patch with CV. I instead use the DISTRHO Cardinal Mini which has a limited amount of modules you can work with within the Duo.
Check for new versions of Cardinal from time to time. I just checked and there is a new one for me!
Have fun!
