nope, it isn't - in the sequencer there's a 'move up' and a 'replace' command and in the main area there's also the replace-function but that's it...

Ah, ok.
Maybe one could force Jorgen to add some "exchange selected modules" function

good idea - Du oder ich?

You know what I would love? (let me see if I can describe this properly) If you could just drag a module and when it crossed one of the cables, it automatically is inserted in that path. For some reason, that's what I expect to happen with modular systems, but none of them work like that.

And do you have to always right-click-disconnect and the left-click-drag to change a path? How come you can't just grab one end and pull it to a new object?

Just curious. Insanely cool program. (Boy is this off-topic now, eh?)

Nah, I don't have a prolific user profile

Also, there's more important things. Re-cabling modules is actually working quite fast.

all good suggestions - just start a new FR-thread in the eXT-forum

don't worry about going o.t. b.t.w. - this is kvr after all...

LOL! Yeah, at least I'm not swearing...

I'll mention it on the other forum, thank, jens + Sascha.

That's a great idea. But I'd combine it with a modifier key, as sometimes you might just like to tidy up things, thus accidentally (or incidentally) crossing cables.

Seems like.
But then, this approach is actually rather safe. No accidental recabling and such. Kinda fool-proof or so.
Hm, but, come to think of it, I'd like to see "direct recabling" as well.

Guess we could just tell Jorgen about all these things, he's certainly one of the most openminded developers there are.

Cool. I went to go post something on that forum...boy, there are a lot of posts there, and guys who've made sites dedicated solely to feature requests...wow! Is there any point in posting my silly ideas? Think they'd notice?

Sascha Franck · Post by **Sascha Franck** » Thu Mar 16, 2006 1:08 am

Yes, they will. Most likely at least.

Yeah, OK, I'll see what they say. Do I get the impression there is a v2 update on the way?

Oh, good idea with the modifier key - it does occur to me that the more careful cabling does prevent mistakes.

Of yourse you don't need the sequencer portion of it (which I am not using either), but it's just freaking marvelleous as a subhost.

See, Cubase users are complaining about the lack of FX not being exchangeable (without completely unloading them that is). A no brainer with eXT!

In addition, you can even run FX parallely (without some wicked group routing scenarios, you just do it).

Then, you can layer synths, yay! Sure, you can record on multiple tracks simultaneously as well in Cubase - but it's something entirely different!

And finally (and that's where the true fun starts), you can control EACH VST(i) parameter with whatever MIDI controller you like. Just imagine, you'd setup a chain of a synth, a distortion unit and some delay, and by simply turning your ModWheel up, the cutoff would be slightly lowered (you can scale it how much effect the CC movements have), resonance would go up, drive of the distortion unit would raise as well and probably the delay's feedback too!
And, as if that wasn't good enough to make you wet your pants allready, you just save the complete shebang as one single preset to have it available once and forever.

So, what you are saying is basically "Cubase plus eXT is nearly as good as Tracktion"..?

You probably do.
Perhaps because it is...

IIRs, might be - but seriously, there's apparently enough T2 users using eXT in addition as well. Probably for good reasons.

Quite a big disadvantage in Cubase SX3 !!!!!
