Signal Follower doesnt work on every Track?!

[kolacell]

Im trying to point the signal follower to a gainer on another track but it just shows “N/A” (there is a gainer!)?
for other Tracks it works, but i dunno why its not working here(im using the b4)

edit: got it (but its a stupid solution, like always on renoise)

Cross Track Routing with the Signal Follower

Unlike the other Meta Devices, the Signal Follower cannot affect devices that appear on tracks to the left of its own host track. It is also unable to control effects on the same track as itself, if that device appears before it in the DSP chain. Such tracks and effects will show in the “Dest.” box with the suffix: “(N/A)” (i.e. Not Available). This is necessary to ensure that the Signal Follower does not add latency to the song’s signal chain. If you want to affect a track or device that currently shows as “(N/A)”, then simply reorder the tracks or reorder your effects so that the Signal Follower appears before (to the left of) the desired parameter.

or fuck the system and bind it to input-> hydra then select any left hand tracks there

It has always been like this since its introduction.
Processing flow simply always goes from left to right and top to bottom.

It was possible to backroute during beta, but then the result was never instant but happened on the next tick/row which isn’t desired, hence the inverse routing became “N/A”.

My solution was to create a template that starts with drums, as it’s almost always a kick I’m following. My template has 2 huge groups, Drums and Not Drums.
