If I attach a float output from an operator (like float subtract) directly to a string box, it doesn't convert, but if I pass the float through a float box first it does.

This is becuase the string reads the text and the float creates a number value text so thats why it only works after the float. This is not really a bug but a extra feature to add to SM. 🙂

Well actually it is a sort of bug. It should do the conversion as you're expecting beno. However, we changed the way this worked some time ago but didn't make all the changes that were needed. This has been on the todo list for a while but we haven't got to it yet. Thanks for reminding us 🙂

In the meantime, if you put a Float data component between the Float Subtract output and the String data input this will force the conversion for you.

    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.
