On some elements loop back connection is not visible at all (like Int Select).

Need pic/OSMs.

A misbehaving loopback connection should show up as a dotted red line.

Some did under certain logical states. Connections that were in chain before one I mentioned were dash red lines.

I did give bad example. But it is same for Counter Advanced I later used instead of Int Select. I connected Reached Max and Reset the counter to start.

You will not see anything on a screenshot. I almost posted one 😀 It just looks as if there is nothing there.

Ah yes, I see what you mean - the link gets hidden underneath the 'body' of the module. The red link thing is just for invalid feedback paths that are disallowed to prevent infinite-loop lockups.

My workaround is to connect the output to a 'dummy' float primitive - then click on the middle of the link to put in a curve node, and then you can drag the end of the link from the dummy primitive to the input that you really want to use. Then just delete the 'dummy' and move the curve node to tidy things up a little. You can also use the settings preference 'draw links on top' to avoid this problem - but I find it looks a bit messy personally.

The workaround you suggested was exactly what I did in a first place. Adding a dot while connected to a dummy is a workaround.

    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.
