As you can read in this thread Synthmaker creates different code depending on the order in which you connect your wires - so you can have different schematics that look absolutely the same but do entirely different things.

Edit: Don't mind, it's already implemented: [old link]

That's some good ideas, I've come unstuck myself a few times due to wires being connected in the wrong order - and it takes a while to figure out whats going on 😉

Please add the case that it also matters if several connections go out of one connector to the docus and implement a possibility to change the order even in that case. (Perhaps the idea to additionally offer the options "set top priority", "increase priority", "decrease priority" and "set lowest priority" in the drop down menu would nevertheless be nice as perhaps many people like me haven't read the manual and won't know about the importance of these strange little spots - and four entries in a menu are more difficult to overlook 😉 )

seconded. would be especially useful on V links, since they determine the Z-order of visual elements

Good points.

Allowing reordering of links at an output connector has been on the todo list for a while now.

I take your point about the subtelty of the link order markers.

    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.
