But of course I have comments :P

I've always tried to avoid dramatic changes to the UI (muscle memory don'cha
know), and there's quite a lot of change here!

It's a good idea to move the Pan Law - that always bothered me a bit.

I like the overall idea but...

The Undo/Redo buttons could be moved into the blank area alongside The Sys/Ins
tabs.  It also emphasises the fact these don't relate to the other
buttons.

These tabs are padded out with spaces. If you take a space out of either side
of the System tab it will give a little more wiggle room.
If you try to drag them in Fluid, it'll probably throw a hissy fit thinking
you're trying to walk over another group. However, if you double-click on the
entries and edit the numbers directly all is sweetness and light :)

The Vectors button can then be made the same size as the others, improving the
symmetry.

The Mode drop-down is much too long - it looks as if something is missing. Did
you remember to also move the red warning background patch? Can't have legato
and drum mode).

Portamento has lost it's MIDI-Learnable colour and font.

The Omni checkbox needs to be bigger - about the same as the 'On' one.
It occurs to me that this may have an effect on MIDI-Learn, Vectors and Solo.
Have you done any tests for these?

Another idea...
The Chanel selector originally was a drop-down like the one in the Mixer panel.
If it is changed back, an 'Omni' entry could be added instead of needing a
separate button. To all practical purposes Midi Learn already has this, only
there it's called 'All'.


Hmm. I seem to have gone on a bit :)
