This feature request is something like the opposite of the Make Module command:

Instead of placing a selected part of the SM schematic into a module while keeping all connections (=Make Module), the selected Module is deleted but the contents and connections of the (no longer existing) Module remain intact = Extract from Module.

This would be helpful to restructure and/or speed-up optimizing CPU-usage of SM schematics...

I was wishing for that just last night when helping out McBarGig with his guitar amp simulator.

If the elements are (auto-)selected then you could drag them around to a proper location instantly or else use Make Module to reverse the process. 😉

+1 I do this quite often with copy-paste. Not a big thing, but useful.

Thanks for your support. Indeed there are more important things in life 😀

To describe what's happening with copy-paste: you have to move out of the module, all connections are gone and you need to reconnect manually... (and delete the module itself afterwards)

Doing a C/P, I use to include with the copied stuff also the input and output connectors as they usually carry a reference name. Then, after copying in the new location, I substitute the old inputs and ouputs with the real ones. That gives you a trace and you don't have to keep in mind the I/Os of the extracted module, but it's anyway a bit messy, actually, as you can make some errors in the reconnections and there's a moment when you are coupling the same I/Os! 😉

    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.
