disconnect all cables at once

cebec · Posted: Wed Dec 29, 2004 9:52 am Post subject: disconnect all cables at once

is there a way to disconnect all the cables in a patch at one time? not just the unused ones... or a way to select a group of modules and just disconnect those? if not, there ought to be a way...

that's my wish... or my ignorance... depending ...

There may be a better way, but put all the modules down that you want in your patch and then set this cordless patch to the init variation. Then, when you are working on a variation, just load the init variation and you'll have it.

ah, obviously I didn't think of that... good idea, thanks.

There is a way to disconnect a set of selected modules from it's suroundings - if that's what you want to do.

Just cut them out and then paste them back.

oh! ok, i hadn't gotten around to trying it, yet, but it sounded like it would work.

so: a feature that disconnects all cables in a patch at one time, or even in a group of selected modules, without having to cut and paste them.

I added a poll to this thread, curious as I am ...

so, yeah. i'd like the option to delete ALL cables at once or in a given selection of modules.

I propose we go back to her and tell her that we didn´t apreceate her at the time. We´ll say "please OS2.1, please take us back, we never realised how good you were to us", then we´ll admit we only upgraded because we thought two vocoders in the same patch would be kinda neat but in the end never realy did use that.

Then we´ll kiss her calculator and all will be well again.

(the G1 used to have this, and building blocks, and a calculator, version 3.0 snipped a couple of percentages of cost of the vocoder which used to cost 55% or so and also axed the building blocks and the calculator. "remove all cables" might still be there, never used it)

I'll admit, I'm puzzled: how would this feature be useful?

it'd be a time saver and not difficult to implement, i don't think.

for example, let's say i've got my voice area populated with modules and things are cabled up but I don't like the patching direction i've gone... now, i could have saved an un-cabled version of my patch but I'd much rather select all or just click an option to uncable everything rather than go through each module one by one, double-click dragging or right click disconnecting. takes a lot of time and is hard on the ol' wrist.

in another situation i might want to delete the cables from a specific section of modules. why go through each one when i can just drag a box around the modules and right click/disconnect all or something like that?

That idea would more usefull on the G1 where drawing cables did not force a recompile, I suppose. I intensely longed for this feature many times, but all of those times were on analogues. Even a feature that hangs the cables back on the cable rack would be nice.
