Small FR:

It would be very convenient to hotkey between two or more windows when using SM. Say you wanted to have an example synth open as a guide how to do something in your new synth.

I know you can now go to the Window menu and change, but a hot key would be way faster when you are flipping back and forth between the two.

I know everyone doesn't have dual monitors, but it would be great to be able to have two synths open at once in seperate windows for the same purposes as above.

The standard Windows shortcut-key: Ctrl+F6 and Shift+Ctrl+F6 can be used to switch focus forward and backward between all opened schematics.

Ah-missed that one. Thanks Frits! 🙂

I should have known that Jorge and Malc would have us covered.

Cheers

Now this is interesting. I just tried Ctrl+F6 and it works forwards and backwards by itself. So does Shift+Ctrl+F6. Ah well, no matter. that's even easier! 🙂

Err...would like to take credit but it's built in to the system.

That Frits bloke really knows his stuff - he should get into software develoment 😉

My apologies-yup, I read ctrl-tab but was thinking alt-tab! 😮ops!:

Sorry for that, it's only 10 AM here in Vancouver. I really should learn not to post before 12 noon and/or 3 cups of coffee! 🙂

    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.
