```auto
gainEqOverlayCtrl:setSlot(helpers.boundsToSlot(gainEqCtrl:getBounds()))

```

This fails on E1 Mini. `boundsToSlot` returns values that include the slots for groups. `setSlot` seems to have only 8 slots for the main controls. It seems like numbers above 8 resolve to slot 1.

Would be simpler to have a `control::getSlot()` method, but there are other uses for `boundsToSlot`.
