adding linking mechanism to that theme

I was able to make the "delta step" recalc, which is able show the recent change (between current value and the one just before) both on slider control and editbox - as a ratio or just linear difference (I added copy value i/o to make the module complete). Led switch is reseting this module to 1:1 ratio (or difference = 0). I think this will be helpful in making linking mechanism between two sliders on second panel.

But from that point - I lost my way. I'd like to add something (in the module with leds), that will allow to link sliders in this module (constant ratio for example, to see how it works) and move them together.

As far I begin understand (but don't know how to implement it) - ratio display can be switched to output of the slider 1 or 2 (depending on which one was used last), and at the same time - switched can be also the current reference value (resulted from previous ration counter). Slider can be adjusted to accept self loop (output to input), and on it's pathway - the ratio recalc will do the rest for all loops (all sliders). I know - sounds chaotic, therefore I'm attaching the template.

There will be more sliders like that per section, so the solution must be somewhat universal.

Sliders are also interconnected to second module via wireless mode (range and base are sent one-directional from more detailed section, tune box and tune slider are bi-directional) and it should stay that way.

Hi tester,

Here is a solution to make control linking that should work with different ranges and preset. Also a better way to make the synchronized/cloned controls. Hopefully useful..

    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.
