Welcome to the first of a bazillion questions I'm going to have... 🙂

Okay, let's suppose I have several modules in a synth and that each module has a common switch. For example, maybe there are 3 oscillators and two filters, and each of these has an attenuation switch where you can pick -0.5db or -10db. Now suppose I want only one input to control all of these switches that are in different modules. Graphically the synth would have one button/toggle for either -0.5db or -10db. It didn't look to me like the switch module has a "state" input that I could plug a common input into.

thanks s

Sorry, in a bit of a rush - I just knocked up this modification to the standard switch, see if that does the trick.

thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately I just checked my notes and I made a mistake. Instead of "switch" I meant "selector". I'm not concerned with the gui at this point, but just the functionality.

By the way, it will take me some time (days?) before I actually understand even the file you just made for me, that's how much I have to learn here.

thanks

Here is an example of one switch controlling two PolyMultiplying modules. When the switch is on, both modules multiply a poly signal by 0.5 otherwise 0.25.

And here is inside one of the mult modules:

I hope this helps.

    Open it in SynthMaker?

    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.
