Hello, I am currently making a synth and am struggling with bypassing the effects I have made within my synth. Basically I just want to make a switch/Knob that will bypass that individual effect and make sure when they are all turned off that i just have a simple clean channel. Possibly a switch that will turn all effects of at once would be good too, as well as the individual switches.
I am new to synthmaker, so do not know the in's and outs.
Cheers.

Welcome 🙂
You want to use theese two modules: Switch & Selector. Just search in the top left field of SM. But i also suggest you take the tutorial and read a little in the user manual. You find them both in the forums top section.
Good luck

I've sorted it now thanks, Cheers.

A simple bypass switch could be done like this:
This is basically how the bypass switch of e.g. a guitar FX unit works. You may add more selectors if you want to switch stereo FX's .

SM also has a special behaviour when you bypass modules...
When you disconnect all of the OUTPUTS from a module, the module gets turned off, and stops using CPU power. Because of this, you usually don't need a multiplexer to disconnect the FX inputs, because the module won't be 'listening' if there is no output. Note that disconnecting only the INPUTS to a module won't turn it off - it must be the outputs that are switched off.
