I like the cut of your jib! ;)

How about a threshold switch that worked on CV or audio - now you're talking some interesting creative possibilities!

[or a toggle mode like a guitar A/B pedal?]

To whoever produced this - I suspect you are lurking out there somewhere - thank you!

Nice looking interface and it's always good to see another developer entering the RE market.

Just downloaded this free RE. It's installed plus appears in my account.  But - again - the authorisation process failed.......arghhh.
Again & again i get the error message that the authorisation process failed = check your internet connection bla, bla. But the internet connection is 100% ok.
So at the moment I have lost ALL my Rack extension stuff. This sucks.  The authorisation process is much too unreliable. :?

No frills...nice n simple and to the point. I like the GUI and the logo. Now, I just want one that goes the other way(CV), 1 in...2(multiple) out.

Wouldn't that be a splitter?

Can't complain about a free Rack Extension. But it's curious that it includes everything but the knobs on the folded view. I tried clicking on the diodes, which felt natural, but did nothing. Guess I should just get these knobs mapped... :)

Well no, because a splitter is just that, it splits. I want a router...something that is switchable, so I can send the signal in the desired direction. For example, one LFO modulating either an oscillator, a filter, or an envelope depending on selection.
Sure you can do this with a splitter but that makes it fixed...now if you want a patch that is programmable, then the only way to do that with a splitter is to manually patch/unpatch the cables. Erm...if you're using 16 'A series' oscillators in one combi, that's a little awkward :)

Sorry, I now totally understand what you were asking for, not sure how I missed something this basic! 

Yes, a "many to one" and a "one to many" would be quite handy, especially if you could support more than 2 choices on the "many" side of things.

Carry on, nothing to see here…

Have you looked at Front-8?  I love it.

--------------And a BIG "THANK YOU" to the developer for giving us this gift.  It would be nice to have some CV controls on the back, but who can legitimately complain about a free RE?  Not me!!  Thanks again.  :D

Just to clarify, FRONT-8 alone doesn't really work as a CV "switch" because each connection is a separate property. But it's possible to achieve if you also use RVL-1. I posted an example here:

However, FRONT-8 alone does make re-routing connections easier/automatable, so it could be good enough if a switch isn't strictly needed.

Yea, there are a few different options if you're prepared to use rotaries for example, rather than switches, there's Volt SL-1 for example, and some of Hamu's RE's but the best and most straight foward I've found is JP's Lolth.
It just would be nice to have one simple device with just one CV in and 4 or more outs that are governed by a switch...with no frills. I wanted this device way back, long before RE's...I can't remember why lol but, know I've wanted it a few times.
It's the same for faders, I know there's Hamu's mod panel and I've used it a few times to control envelopes, but just like there's the excellent CV8x4 from Aftermath, I would love exactly the same thing but with faders rather than rotaries and I can't believe no one has created this RE yet.

I sometimes think devs often cram too much into their RE's yet for me, they often overlook the important things like CV inputs...'oh there's a big fat knob on the front to adjust the volume so you don't need a CV in'...cool but, what if I want to use 5 instances of this and control them simultaneously..combinator's not always an option.

Anyway, I'm waffling, it's just nice to see a plain and simple RE with no frills, like this one from Pongasoft, I'd like to see more like this.
