There may be other similar situations, perhaps with both the Selector & Multiplexer, but I find this frustrating, a CPU waste, & repeatable: 1) Drop a fresh Selector in the schematic 2) Connect a Float into the second input 3) The Selector goes into "Float-mode" as it should; all good 4) Connect the output to a Float, no problem 5) Connect the output to a Poly 6) The entire Selector enters "poly-mode" where all connectors become Poly (bug #1), using more CPU (since it is not in green-mode now), & preventing the Selector's out to connect to any more Floats (bug #1.1) 7) Disconnecting the single Poly connection will not revert the Selector back into float-mode, even if all the in & out connections are Floats, but it is now stuck in Poly-mode! (bug #2) Same issue with other green connectors later connecting to any Poly/Mono/Pack4/Stream(needs the connected item to be coerced)(/Double?).

edit: Bug #3: The change from green to audio is so stuck, even undo will not undo the change. It will stay in that audio mode though several [Ctrl-z]s!

Workaround: Connect the Selector's out to an empty pass-though module before connecting to any Stream. Costs like 1Kb, but saves frustration & CPU I think.

TIA

yes, mister, this is part of a larger bug I noticed some months ago: Selector

    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.
