As far as I can see then nobody has wished for this before - which I do not understand !
(below may seem very convoluted , it is not !. It is very simple and very perfect but may require very skilled programmers to implement not to screw up interfaces)
I wish for the ability to present instrument/preset browser as context based and as 'true tabbed browsing' in the sense that :
Step 1 :
If I click respectively tab A , B , C or D in top left of Syntronik 2 interface
Step 2 :
Then click to choose instrument in middle of top of Syntronik 2 interface
Then result , what interface is presented as result should be shown in context to if I clicked tab A , B , C or D in step 1
Example 1 :
A choice :
(Step1 ) : I click (tab) A , then (step 2) in top middle click choose instrument , then in interface left click KW-8000 and M-12 and then to the middle/right in second row select 'Take The Lead'
Then I move on to (tab) B and repeat steps
B choice :
(Step1 ) : I click (tab) B, then (step 2) in top middle click choose instrument , then in interface left click Obie One and PolyMorph and then to the middle/right in second row select 'Bass Growl'
As is the Syntronik 2 interface keeps interface including selected instruments as SAME no matter if I click A , B , C or D and NO MATTER what instrument(s) were chosen in e.g. A or B or if I had not previously chosen any instrument or cleared chosen instrument for that Tab (
A,B,C,D)
What Syntronik 2 should be able to do is to remember browser setting for each Tab independently ! So rather than mixing up browsing then browsing should be true tabbed browsing so that content shown is 'context based' , meaning depending on if I clicked A , B , C or D and what I clicked on the respective Tabs last time I chose it.
So that in reference to Example 1 given above then once steps in Example 1 has been executed then every time I click (tab) A in top left and then instrument choice in top middle then interface should load my A choices (KW-8000 and M-12 to the left and then in second row select 'Take The Lead') and NONE of the tab B settings.
And When I click (tab) B in top left and then instrument choice in top middle then my (tab) B choices (Obie One and PolyMorph to the left and then in second row select 'Bass Growl') should be (shown as) selected and NONE of the (tab) A choices should be selected.
And if I have not chosen any instrument/preset for that 'tab' (A, B, C or D) previously , or chosen to 'reset'/'cleared' that instrument to nil then interface should be reset to showing no choice.
ALSO , sub-dependent and equally annoying as is present instrument browser menu function is this :
At present function IS :
If I choose (tab) B top left and go to middle top of interface and chose from menu (save as , rename , empty) and choose 'Empty' then the Syntronik 2 will remove not only any instrument choice in instrument/preset browser for (tab) B but ALSO remove any instrument choice in instrument/preset browser for (tab) A !!!
Where I should be able to keep my instrument choice (to the left) in instrument/preset browser for each 'tab' (A,B,C,D) separately.
Functionality could be improved even further by adding / altering middle top menu (save as , rename , empty) to "save as , rename , empty , clear " where difference would be that 'empty' only removes instrument/preset choice from 'in use' , where 'clear' would work as 'empty' do now !!!
Of course you could make all these 'abilities' a user choice to cater for those that will/can not see the advantage of true tabbed browsing. But rather than do that then it would be much easier to please those that wants 'as is' by giving (tab) A,B,C and D top left choice an extra function by allowing for right clicking on either and then giver user ability of copying other tab instrument AND instrument browser choice by clicking choice in right click menu of each of the A,B,C and D choices top left! (Example in right-click menu of tab D choices would be copy A , B or C )
Though it's a lot of work trying to be as clear and specific as above then should above not be clear despite my best attempt for it to be so then feel free to inquire as for clarification.
Kind regards
