Hi,
Suppose I have an arrangement and I want to, at will, hear it played with different sounds.
How can I swap sound sets in and out of a given arrangement?
I realize I can edit the sounds and save the arrangement under a different name and then load/unload full arrangements at will, however, doing that means I would now have two (or more) arrangements instead of one. Then, if I want to change anything else other than the sounds then I would have to make all those changes multiple times in multiple places, perfectly. That is not the goal.
The goal is one arrangement, multiple easily accessed ways to hear it.
How does one do that in Synfire?

A/B testing different sound scenarios?
Sound assignment is usually done incrementally for a reason. Swapping a sound often recomposes the output to match different playing ranges. Unloading and loading plug-ins takes considerable time. When you add or remove instruments, your saved scenarios might no longer work. Keeping them consistent and conflict-free over longer stretches of time is a tough call.
The most convenient way is to load alternative sounds into your rack in advance and easily swap them in the inspector.
