I think that sometimes it is better UI design for allowing users to about a mouse-click before activating a button. So when a visual feed back shows that the user clicked on the wrong button, they can move the mouse pointer off that button to prevent activation. Not a big issue sometimes, but is helpful for touch screens, & a big deal when performing in a band or even solo live; you do not want mis-clicks.

This can be done with existing primitives, except there is no way to tell what the user's click-time settings are. That is why we have Double-click primitives that read users' settings. The linked file has the timer-reset at ~555ms, so if you don't Left mouse click Down then Up in a 1/2 a second, the click doesn't count. [old link] TIA

    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.
