There is "Replace synth" menuitem in Track View.
Is it also available in the Synth Rack as well (which would be the most logical place for that)? Right-clicking synth opens a context menu but there is no "Replace synth" available. Neither none of the top bar buttons in the synth rack hint for replace.

The function works as documented. It is in the Synth Settings menu D in this image from https://www.cakewalk.com/...p;help=Browser.11.html

I always wished it was a little more obvious. Something more out in front. Also would like the connect/disconnect switch available in the compact mode.

Rarely use the synth rack but I do believe a power button would be more useful than the synth icon. Reading the help taught me a new way to replace synths. Did not know dragging a synth a the track replaces the synth.
