Menu Improvement Suggestion 2012-01-21T00:51:59+00:00 I realise not all of it will be acceptable to everyone, but I hope it may be of help in part. Here's my suggestion for improving the menu layout: My first point is to make a seperation between the two menus MULAB and SESSION. The MULAB menu should only contain items regarding the app itself while the SESSION menu should only contain items regarding a session. If something doesn't fit these two categories then a third menu should be added, or, perhaps combine the two to form one menu? I quite like the idea of combining them as it means less clutter and you could also use the Mu-Lab logo as a button for the menu instead of text. I think it's more aesthetically pleasing. So this is the layout I will suggest. If it's preferred to keep two seperate menus then split as you see fit. The point you mentioned about the session stuff being combined is here though by the time I add this post you may have sorted it. Maybe yours will be better than my suggestion, but I add it nonetheless. In the SESSION menu there are twenty nine entries, not including 'hidden' items. I've reduced that to fifteen! Some may disagree on my layout due to an extra click required, but I think a clear, easy-to-find layout is more productive, but that's me ;-) A menu category should be in a bold or slightly larger font for reducing confusion when navigating. MULAB Menu Undo Redo --------------- Save Save As... Save As Template --------------- Panic --------------- (Main Session items here. I believe you're adding a window to choose between single and multi-session?) + Session New Open Revert Template Demo Close + Composition Add Select Next ---------------- + Import/Export MIDI File - (When selected asked if import/export.) Add Sample Mixdown Audio + Manage Audio Files Sequences Samples Multi-Samples Audio/Sample Files ---------------- + Show/Hide Keyboard Mod Area Rack Desk + MIDI Edit Session Controller Map Auto/Manual Input Focus Edit input Focus (These items aren't used regularly and are App specific so should be kept in a Setup category.) + Setup Audio MIDI Shortcuts External Editor Skin Upgrade Sessions Insert License Key - (This should be removed/hidden after insertion!) + Help - (Diagnostic items added as they're to help solve issues.)

Just to give some feedback: Menus will stay as now. Already focused on other priority aspects. Thanks for thinking loud, always appreciated!
