Can I really not set RNBO subpatcher params using normalized values?

Please see this example patch:

Max Patch
Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.

What I want to do is use external MIDI CC to control a parameter in a RNBO subpatch: frequency in the [p voice] inside the [rnbo~].

AFAIK there is only a non-normalized [set frequency] method, no normalized counterpart.

So I guess I would use [fromnormalized frequency] before it - only that does not work, nor does [fromnormalized voice/frequency] - which btw instantiate without any error message.

Am I overlooking some other way to do this, or is this a bug, or feature request candidate?

Thanks in advance!

correction: there are warnings about those fromnormalized objects:

fromnormalized: Could not find parameter named 'voice/frequency' in current patcher.

fromnormalized: Could not find parameter named 'frequency' in current patcher.

Ah, this works:

Max Patch
Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.

using the @ctlin 1 attribute. might be handy for other situations where normalized control is useful, but not necessarily from a CC: make a CC from it. only 7-bit of course, but still
