Had this come up a few times when making stuff now. Where is the missing mono4bool data type for streams? For my own modules a quick addition to my code provides a workaround - but it means that several stock modules can't be used with mono4 (e.g. envelopes), which is annoying if you are trying to save CPU by running in mono4 for 'parallel processing' Primitives auto-detecting the stream type is a really cool feature of SM - but without mono4bool it is not quite complete.

Do you mean in Code? I think you can use regular Poly by ALT+SHIFT+CTRL+drag-connect.

Ummm - think I must have had a major brain fart yesterday! 😊
The regular monobool blue data streams actually do pass all four SSE channels when connected to mono4 code using 'streamboolin' and 'streamboolout' - I even tested with wireless links and it works just fine as long as you right-click select the blue monobool data type (generic black ones won't send data).
Guess I must have made some dodgy code many moons ago, and assumed that it didn't work because of the connectors staying black, and the 'missing' data type - now that I've tested again more thoroughly, I see that there is no problem at all doing what I want! Mind you, I do still always find stream connectors/links that stay black a little disconcerting - if a schematic has both poly and mono parts, I always worry that black links might become 'Shroedinger's Streams' forever stuck in some sort of mutant mono-poly quantum superposition!

Yea, that is a bug I reported directly to Malc like 2 years ago. He wanted specific examples, but I really don't have the time. Seems you get better results if you switch audio links to the gray & black "Stream" connector rather then leave to the blank "Template".

Even that didn't seem to work in this case - I tried with the 'Generic' stream bool, and there was still no data flow through wireless, although it does work OK with direct links.

I too have asked him several times ( with examples) to fix it. Connector icons that dont work worries me 😊
