Would it be possible to put the “A Common” section for SurgeXT at the top of the list?
If I want to adjust the volume or pitch bend, I have to scroll through 124 (!) items in the list before reaching the “Common” section.
It would be very useful if I could skip directly to the end of the list by pressing the UP button while on the first item. Then I only have to scroll through 67 items, almost half the number
A nested list would be ideal, of course, but I’m afraid that would be a major change.
We would need to edit the TTL files to get a better organization of parameters, but Surge’s TTL is huge and the amount of work is also huge. Perhaps it could be a work for the IA. Some time ago i did some tests with chat GPT and it can manage TTL files, so with some wise guidance, the work could be done, or at less we could get an improved wersion. Of course, if someone try it, please, keep a clean prompt that we can use later for updating the generated TTL when ot changes.
You have put the B Common settings on top, but the A Commons are still below the LFO settings. Could these go on top please? I don’t know what the B Commons do, but the A Commons set the volume etc.
This thread is relevant to a thought I had, which is, “performance mode” for chain settings with “favorite” controls selected by the user.
As it stands, the LV2 controls are organized in a pre-determined way, which can be tweaked but will always be the same for everyone (as far as I understand). You can also do MIDI Learn to assign controllers of course.
But if one could assemble all of one’s favorite controls (perhaps from different chains / plugins) on a series of easily accessible, adjacent pages, then it doesn’t matter if the original organization of controls is a long scrollable list. You would just pick the ones that are relevant to that particular gig, or track.
