I'd like a visualizer for the filter so I can actually see what it's doing. This is the first synth I've used that doesn't show you what is happening with the filter. It's especially helpful when choosing between the many variations of comb or others. It doesn't even need to move, it could just be stationary.

- Labels on the FM matrix, as discussed here viewtopic.php?p=7398875#p7398875
would improve readability by a long long shot
My ugly mockup ==> viewtopic.php?p=7400253#p7400253
- Improved controls on the Additive module, as discussed here viewtopic.php?p=7398961#p7398961
would improve usability by a long long shot
- Displaying filter cutoff point values as Hertz instead of octaves would also be nice

- Custom waveform shape for the FM operators in the FM module: Would like to have more customizable FM possibilities, more than the Sine, Triangle, Saw and rectangle VA sort of thing. Where we could load and use even samples to determine the shapes of the waveform. Something similar to "harmonics" in MPS and the wavetable module, Load sample file option and choose the form from the sample.

+ 1 for the things mentioned above, especially the filter visualization and filter settings in Hertz.
Some other wishes :
- Free drawing of envelopes.
You can open another pop-up window for custom envelopes but that works pretty weird. It should work for example like the way you drag lines in the eq. It's btw pretty much standard in every synth and fx nowadays.
- Graphic Feedback for Per Voice Modulation Sources.
When an Envelope, LFO etc is used, give it some form of graphic feedback to see in one view that it is used. The modulation sources in the Utility Part have this, but the others (per voice ones) don't. Would make things a little clearer and saves time.
- Global Unison. Or better implementation of Unison that can be used AFTER a sound is created and is less cpu taxing. And/or the ability to use Unison AFTER the Harmony Engine that's now in Global. And if that cannot be done at least give an Unison option for all the Generators and not only the standard osc. Would make life a lot easier.
- Undo knob on top of the main interface so you can save space and/or time by not having to open the side toolbar. It's also more or less the standard to have undo/redo buttons placed on top so most of us go there automatically. (This one goes for pretty much all the Melda fx btw.)

- Follower and Pitch modulators option as almost all Melda catalog.
I know I already can do the work around putting an instance of MXXX and use those from inside, but is not the same as to have it right there in the modulators of MSF, really miss the follower modulator, I know MSF is a generator but it would be just very nice to have the follower at disposition for any effect when loaded or for different parameters reaction according to the sound signal and more across the synth. I'm used to it.

For those that want Hz shown for filters, there is a way to do this, but it won't work in every situation. Use the FollowerFilter(it works in hz)instead of the follower. To use it with an LFO, add the LFO in another lane and then use the FF sidechain to grab the input. From there just enable the side button on the bottom of FF. It can also be done with an envelope module with a set(turn the value to 100%) module placed before it.
The problem with this is that it doesn't work well polyphonically. Its perfect for mono sounds or sounds when you press all the keys at the exact same time. If you press and hold a key and then press another the envelope will restart and it sounds terrible. If you really want Hz use the FF, but if you want to play polyphonically use the normal filter.

I'm afraid for me such a topic is too scary and time consuming to look through, sooo ...
