I have some difficulties to get how the wireless works in more complex situations. I don't know how make the modules communicate wireless in bidirectional mode (1:1), so that the gain1 slider controls gain1a and vice wersa?

I've worked out a few solutions for this over the years. Race conditions and trigger order problems abound. It's not fun. I'm currently working on a generic solution with some options as part of a "knob kit" collection. Unfortunately not ready.

I think Trog posted an example of linked "mixers" somewhere. Try a search.

Trog linking is rather not for this kind of stuff. Was designed to work within a module, not between modules, and is rather for grouping/linking. These sliders must just control themselves 1:1 (the same parameter is used on dofferent panels); the wireless mode would help to solve the problem of green field of cables 😉

I had to rebuild as there was problems with two edit boxes to one slider and if you click on gain 1a the mouse pointer disappear!

Try this, works on gain 1/1a:

Works great, big thanks! Duplicating hunderts of parameters between osc panels and group panels will be now much easier.

And finally I understand how the wireless works between paralel modules. I thought initially that there must be some additional receiver/retransmiter in the parent section.

I have some strange kind of issue here. I redesigned the wireless team of talking sliders, but... Everything works fine except one small detail. When I change the "range" parameter (which symetrically defines min/max values for the slider only; total frequency is a sum of editbox and microtuner), then the value of microtuner behaves very strangely. It should stay on it's position when range is changed to higher and it shoud stay on min/max position if the range is set to lower than value. How to solve it?

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
