Will be posible to create a generic ( black pins) version of To Parent / To child modules that can be used with any pin type ( including BUS) ?

Will be very useful to pass a set of common values down in the schematic structure ( background colors, font/pen settings, whithout clutter up the whole schematic with tons of wires

wtf! I'd love that! great for colors / bitmaps and whatnot!

hmm like a teleport module, radio signal send and recieve 🙂 you could have a float input called channel and then if you have a send module set to channel 1 and the same with the recieve module it will transfer anything across.

Simpler than that: "send to everybody, receive who want it". No need of diferent sets. All that you want to send to a bus, and select what you want on receiver

Or you could have a string input with all as the first option the 1,2,3 ect after and that way you could have exact send settings which would be cool i think, that way it would be good for lfo sends and stuff and modulation ect.

Although, by using buses, you could basicly do all of this with just one connection on the module, right?

i think unkargherth means that the module could connect say for example some settings that are 1 layer into a structure with something thats 20 layers in without creating inputs each time although im not sure. Like an advanced bus module.

Yeah, but it's just one connection to add to a module, to pass on any number of "variables"... Right?

This is an idea that Jorge and I have talked about in the past. The concept of 'transmit' and 'receive' components for creating 'invisible' links is a not too difficult extension of the To Child/To Parent system.

So to answer your question, it's certainly doable and I'm sure we wwill do it, I just can't say when I'm afraid.

I don't think its that important and like stefancrs says it only requires 1 input on a module layer but its good to know it will be added at some time. It would make thinks simpler for any complex structures though i think.

    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.
