Could we have a larger workspace, like twice of thrice the height and twice the width? I´ve found that sometimes the space is a little bit reduced for complex schematics.
More workspace.

+1. I find myself getting a little cramped too.
Disco_Steve ·
YES PLEASE!!!! double the area would be fantastic!

Really?
I certainly don't object to the idea (at least provided there's no serious trade-off like significantly increasing the memory requirement of the program) but I think it says something about your style of working if you find the current work environment too cramped.
I guess there's an assumption that module levels slow down the processing of data -- as I can't see any other reason for trying to keep so much at one level.
I'd like to know how much this is really an issue since I use module hierarchy extensively to keep my stuff organized.

I think the workspace should be unlimited in size. 😀 I mean why even have a limit?
The workspace could have a default size like it does now (which could actually be much smaller), but when a component is moved to the very edge of the workspace the workspace would get larger. So basically a dynamically resizing workspace. 🙂
This wouldn't be so hard to do either, when moving a component a comparison could be taking place to see if it is near the edge of the workspace if it is increase the workspace by so many squares. It's just a case of replacing the hard coded width and height with a variable which gets added too when a component gets near it. 🙂
I think it would be fairly simple making it work that way.
Cheers 😉

@Oddson: I too like to make my schematics very "modular" and that, but sometimes you just need the extra space, for example if you need more than 128 ins/outs in a module/code/ASM. Of course, more space is always an opportunity to make a bigger mess. 😉

Yeah exo - u have the right idea: dynamic would be a nice feature!
so +1

I would like teh workspace larger, because I've got a window which you can scroll though, and I can't make it bigger than the workspace, and I need just a hint larger. so double would be great. also I've got projects with 192 bi-quads in, it's very modular, but I need more space so that I can space things out enough to make it nice and readable
sunsynth ·
Or if dynamic is 2 complicated to implement: a size option in the Setup menu...
MichaelBenjamin ·
if this is easy to implement i would appreciate if the size could be increased, but its a minor issue for me.

I understand your needs, but sometimes a limited space is preferrable, I use it as an ADVICE that I've gone a bit too far and complex... 😈

+1 for more workspace
needed to make a wavetable selector of 150 ins: just does not fit.

+1 This is really needed and I think about twice the space is right. the overlapping module hell I have going on right now is creating some unneeded insanity. I would also like to see a scroll bar on the right side and top of the workspace area.

yes. most important: that way being able to move new modules to the left/top (unlimited workspace in all directions).

Can anyone tell me the final outcome of this dated post - is there now a method of increasing the size, as I'm trying to produce a modular synth which has now reached the workspace limits - or do I have to just keep condensing it down into modules. Will the end result still be viewable with a scroll bar or be capable of being panned around - or is there another simple method of splitting a project like a modular synth into linked pages - any help appreciated before I go too far into the project!

I'm with you! Unneeded module insanity is an everyday issue.

I think there will be much bigger workspace coming in the next SM update. Already in new Flowstone 2.
