Disconnecting cables / connecting midi

piet piel · Post by **piet piel** » Wed Nov 06, 2002 2:47 pm

Y'all..

by pressing 'n' you repeatedly connect cables from one device to another. Is there also such an easy way to disconnect cables or..?

Furthermore, doyou guys experience problems by connecting two or more midi devices to another device? (let's say.. pulsar midi in to two modules) Sometimes i keep on clicking until i got the job done .. AARGGHH!! Is there an easy way?

Sincerely.. Manoah

welcome, piet

right click a device and select disconnect - i think this is the closest command to what you need.

Are you having problems getting the cross-hairs to come up with cursor over connection points?

this happens sometimes, try arranging devices so that cables don't cross near connection points.

Hope this helps, and again, welcome to the Z

Piet, you can also daisy-chain devices: connect one device to an output, then connect inputs from the devices that are nearer.
And have a look in the Tools & Presets forum, someone made new cursors so we can easily recognise what our mouse click will do...

Here's a example 'out the book':

That's nice, gary, I had never tried that! You can delete the first connection you want to delete, then press 'N' to delete following connectinos.

Forget about the word 'daisy-chain' and look at the screenshot. The MultiFx are not all routed to the Source, only one is. Then the wire goes to next MultiFx, etc etc.
