Sorry for creating yet another topic, but I think I want to copy this here from the examples forum. ----- I drew some pictures about what I mean with the combined input/value connector:

As you can see, almost all that's required is already there in Synthmaker. Only the in-place editing of values without opening the modules is missing.

IMO this would reduce the need for clicking and opening modules just to change some values inside modules. It would also be very convenient to see all the parameter values ("properties") of a module this way. What do you think? 🙂

Hi Kitchen Sink, I think this would be good as a seperate module then you could use both ways of doing that and all files using the old versions in effects ect would just load up as normal with the old versions still.

I think this only affects Synthmaker's user interface. It's just a quicker way to edit values inside modules that are directly connected to inputs. Existing synths wouldn't be changed in any way, and even older SM versions would load these without problems. If you wonder about the last picture, the "bypass" optimization of the value component isn't mandatory, and it is only compiler-related stuff anyway.

Ah ok cool. Then as long as it doesnt effect older synths and effects this would work fine i guess. 🙂 Was just wondering do you mean just for string values? or for everything this would apply.

The edit is only a Synthmaker user interface shortcut. Think of it as an editing macro. You don't have to open the module, find the value, change it, and come back. Instead, you click on the value and change it.

    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.
