Besides new or upgraded models, I think some of the big stuff for an Amplitube 5 could be in interface/useability for improved workflow. Yes, many have called for a scaleable or at least bigger GUI, and I'm definitely amongst those going blind staring at tiny little labels that seem only a few pixels across.
But I also think some flexibility with the menu system would be useful. One of the places I definitely go blind is squinting at the tiny text in nested drop-down menus -- and the menus are all separate from the images in the GUI.
What if I could just right-click/context-click/Ctrl-click/whatever on the GUI's image of the gear to pop-up a list/menu of options, and perhaps the list itself could be graphical (with thumbnails for the gear, instead of names)? Then, there could be things like "suggested" choices (for bits of gear judged to be commonly matched with other bits of gear you are using at present), and/or "recent choices", etc. 1
Basically, I want to be able to access, explore, and choose options more quickly and easily. I spent a lot of time in the last week or so playing with different cab and speaker models, and navigating the current menu system got
really tedious.
I sort of want to be able to click (and hold?) on the picture of the gear in the GUI to navigate my way through:
"Ah, which cab? Not that one ... this one! But not the stock speakers ... fill it with these other speakers instead! Or some predefined set I've saved ...." Etc.
The faster and easier a user can flip through gear options (which is the huge advantage of digital models over physical kit) to find the tone they're looking for, the happier they will be.
