FR: MSF / Multiparameters / Modules - Bank Improvements

[smadger]

I have been working in MSF a lot recently trying to make an instrument that others could use, and I've become so bogged down in Bank management that it's making me question the whole thing. I must have spent a good 4 hours making needless changes today alone and am coming to the end of my tether. I have made a list of suggested improvements.

1 - Increase the number of Banks a module can have to at least 128 - it seems strangely restricting to only have 64, especially when Multiparameters can handle 128. If you use more than 64, you have to use 2 modules and bounce between, which seems silly.

2 - Change the Bank Select option to a drop down list with names

3 - Allow us to name Banks in modules and those names transfer to Multiparameters rather than just meaningless numbers.

4 - Leave the Plugin Settings window open when you right click on a module to work on banks. It currently closes and doing anything which makes repetitive work way more time consuming.

5 - There is no way to copy and paste banks in the Plugin Settings menu, yes we can from within the module itself, but as the window closes as mentioned in point 4, this becomes frustrating and confusing.

6 - Have the ability to save the current module state as a Bank from within the module.

7 - If you create 64 Banks and then realise you need to make an adjust to one parameter across all of them, changing output volume for example, you have to go back through each one and resave everything, this is hugely time consuming given the behaviours above. If there could be a way to right click on a parameter in a module and have the option to "Update all Banks with current value" this would be very easy to do. This is my biggest frustration right now.

8 - Allow us to save Banks of Banks as presets, both in the Plugin Settings window and in the Multiparameters - transferring these things is a horrifically painful process

9 - Have a button in a modules Preset Browser that lets you select it and then "Save Preset as new Bank", this way all the patch management is taken care of and is easy to do.

10 - Give us a proper "Bank Management" window, in the same way there is a "Manage Multiparameters" window where we can rename, move, copy, paste etc.

Please don't take my angry and frustrated rant as hatred for MSF, I Iove it, but working with Banks on a big project is making me want to abandon the whole thing and use another platform

If anybody knows ways to get around any of this stuff I'd be hugely grateful if you could let me know, thanks.

Well, the limitations usually have a reason, but I'll check. BUT which Banks do you mean? You didn't say anything about context... there are banks for modules, MPs.. god knows what else . Please use emails for these anyways.
