I agree that AMS/om etc. are better for freely routed processing, and doing free routing is almost against the purpose of jack-rack which is supposed to be a very easy, fast to use, serial plugin processor. But, my idea is that the even if the connections cannot be routed freely, the GUI would *show* how the outputs *are* routed. Knowing what actually happens makes the tool more usable. -- Sampo Savolainen <v2@xxxxxx>
