Electra One + Roto Control: Workflow question

I pulled the trigger on a Melbourne Roto Control to pair with my Ableton Push and Electra One.

I’m excited to see how it integrated with E1. My goal would be to map Roto knobs and buttons to parameters in my E1 presets.

It sounds like this will be relatively straight forward with the new 4.0 firmware features, but I wanted to confirm I understand.

I believe I would connect the Roto to the E1 via Midi DIN. From there I can put the Roto control in midi mode and start learning/mapping controls.

What would I need to do on the E1 then? How do I map a parameter on the E1 screen to a specific CC#? Or, is it as simple as putting the Roto in learn mode and twisting the E1 knobs on select parameters to “send” it to the Roto control?

I’m still wrapping my head around the 4.0 features, so would really appreciate any input on how to achieve this or other novel ways of integrating these two awesome devices. Thanks!
