Concatenate float arrays - primitive vs. kludge

Kludge:

I'm wondering whether it might be worth having a native 'Concatenate float arrays' primitive to avoid the conversion load between the string and float array data types.

For small arrays that change infrequently the above solution is fine... but if I have thousands of data points or if the data is changing rapidly I'd assume there's a fair bit of conversion load that could be avoided with a purpose built primitive.

Or perhaps I've missed some other means of getting this result.

This is basically the same idea, with 1 few primitives: [old link]

I also found a few array bugs/requests with math & connecting. The devs have been responsive in the past, so I'm sure they'll do something for us. Some of those bugs are about 10 weeks old... likely busy with FL-SM.

    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.
