Just a couple of quickie clarification questions not documented in the manual please Jarek:

PCMMixer tickbox \"Has Master Line\": What does this do? And do I need to run the blue Request wire of PCMPlayer, into EI input of PCMMixer to use this?

RangeMapper tickbox \"Normalize Signal Properties\": What does this do, and does it interact with any Advanced Signal Properties? It doesn't seem to be related to scalefactors.

Thanks much,
Stepan

If the \"Has master line\" is selected then the first input of the PCMMixer is treated specially. The output rate is always identical as the signal which come to the first input. If it is not selected, then the highest input rate dictates the output rate.

The blue line needs to be connected only to sound sources (Generator, SoundSource, etc). It has no effect on any other elements.

I don't think the \"Normalize Signal Properties\" has any use any more. It was added long time ago when signals could have any range. Now all signals are supposed to be normalized. Normalization of the signal means that they are 0..N or -N..N (both digital and physical ranges). I think this option probably can be removed.
