Don't worry too much about the colors combo, it's not the biggest control in the TPB, compared to the device combos. Anyway, you can see that there is some room now at right end of the TPB, but the other parameter boxes are much wider now. We should try to arrange them one of these days. > As far as this new work, I'm confused about why channel is the only thing > left with the instrument. > > I thought the idea was to separate the instrument from the channel, and > make device and channel track-only properties to suggest uses more like > this > > Track 1: > playback device for this track is 16:0 > channel for this track is 1 > default instrument for segments is #1 (but the instrument per segment > can > change) > > Instrument 16:0 #1 = flute > Instrument 16:0 #2 = piccolo > > Now you draw a flute segment and a piccolo segment on track 1.

Yes. This is correct. The plan is to move also the output channel selector from the IPB to the TPB. But I'm not sure about doing it before the instrument per-segment, which is not planned for the short term. And i've not finished the input part. > If so, having channel left with the instrument seems baffling. > > I'm not sure if I'm confused about your intentions, or if I'm just staring > at half finished work. This current arrangement seems kind of crazy. Well, it is half finished of course. I am still working in the input filters. It requires some testing in several scenarios, and it is necessary to decide what to do with the input selector for audio tracks. It is still there in the IPB. What do you think?
