Hi!

Just an idea from other programs: Start dragging selected modules with ALT pressed duplicates the selected modules. This could be an easy shortcut for these operations: 1. Copy, 2. Paste, 3. start dragging

Shouldn't be hard to imlement, but makes the work a lot easier 🙂

+1 ...same goes for syncronized copies. A typical one would be "Alt" for dupes and "Strg" for syncronized dupes. I guess much more shortcuts come to our mind if we think it further...

+1 This is kind of standard behavior on a computer. Macs use Alt + Drag to copy. Pc's seems to use Ctrl + Drag but I have seen cases were Alt is used instead. I think this was one of the first things I tried to do in SM. Copy one modul to get 2 and it didnt work. It would really speed things up but if we want this we have to keep naggin Malc about it as soon as 1.1.3 is out so he can put it in the next one.

A few rules keep this a friendly place. You agree to them once.

Shown next to what you post, here and in the app. It doesn’t have to be your real name: 3–24 lower-case letters, digits or _ (capitals become lower case, spaces become _).

    Open it in SynthMaker?

    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.
