[Feature Request] Edit Preset Button in Main View

Software Instruments Analog Lab
#1

Presently if you need to access Analog Lab Pro’s Edit View you have to click on the Browser button, then click on the Explore option in the side panel then finally you can hit the Edit Preset button.

Given this new main view, wouldn’t it make a lot of sense to add an Edit button somewhere in the panel or possibly the tool bar?!?

All this extra clicking is doing my head in!! :flushed::upside_down_face:

I’m surprised that no-one else sees this as a good idea?!? Is it because you’re using the synths straight up??

I know its extra clicking, but thank you for this resource!

Thank you for telling where to find Edit View. Just updated the whole thing and couldn’t find it anymore. Definitly some UI / UX issue with it.

As you said it’s way to much clicking. Although I think most users won’t edit anything, which is maybe why they didn’t show it. But since it used to be shown, I don’t really get why they would hide it.

I Hope they will make it more accessible in the future.

+1 here

Editing shortcut from the main page it’s a must have.

Thanks arturia :heart_eyes:

+1 agreed, really looking forward to this update

Most users wont edit?!? While it’s probably true I find it hard not to refine a few settings to get the sound to sit better in production. Stuff beyond the capability of the Macros.

Release tails being way too long and reverb being way over the top are a common adjustment for me. Some sound designers should be shot in my opinion. :upside_down_face:

I rarely use the main view (actually I had to deliberately launch it to understand what you’re complaining about). Honestly, I don’t like this view, too much colors and too litle information about the instrument I’m dealing with.

I very much prefer either the ‘explorer view’ (which I have set as my startup view) or the playlist, which even openes at the same view that I have left it when last exiting AL.

Both views (playlist and explorer) have a beautiful blue ‘edit preset’ button on the right of the screen.

How did u manage to set the explorer view as starting point ? Thanks

Simply click the gear icon at the top right and you’ll find it.

The first ‘start page’ is Analog Lab, the second one in this case is the Start Page of the MiniFreak (current instument).

+1 on this. This is a huge frustration actually that getting to the proper synth GUI is such a chore. I would love either:

-Edit preset button to be on the main view
-Instrument GUI to be able to be a default setting in general
-or-
-Edit preset to be a mappable MIDI control

Well see the point kind of been if the Edit button was in the the toolbar, for example, then it would be available in all views.

Yeah, the front panel can be a bit bright, I never really noticed as I run my monitor at half brightness in the first place. I just find staring at a list all the time very uninspiring, so I flick it over to the front panel.

More than often enough I’m just using it to find the sound I want, whatever the synth, and when I find myself committed to the sound I’ll load in the actual instrument and get into more deep editing there. In Lab though, I just want quick and dirty fixes it’s just as quick and a bit more tedious to edit as I would like.
