1.9.0 OG Tracker Performance FX naming

1.8 WAS

1.9 NOW

well, i understand why the decision to rename some fx with title starts with “SAMPLE THIS N THAT” (so the user understands what fx do), but it takes more time to read the fx name (imagine a live situation with a lot fx title starts with word “sample”), previously it was absolutely clear what fx do.
also this change led to a weird halfbaked fx title look - example is obvious, take “Gran/Wt LFO Speed”, i guess its the longest title, okay, well, why then “Finetune LFO spd” ? Its obviously have some space there for word SPEED and not SPD… also Sample Reverb Snd… why snd? Previously in 1.8 it was neat and clear with fx titles, now it’s kinda meh. Reverb Send - clean and straight. Sample Reverb Snd - imagine if all slots are fx with the “sample” title in it… the time it gets to figure it out which fx is what… you got it, i guess. Please revert this back as it was in 1.8

Hi @ucho_od_śledzia , thanks for your report. We decided to change the FX names so the text always fits with both fonts and make it more clear what the FX does. We are sorry you don’t like it, please submit a Wishlist if you want to see this changed. Thank you

ah, well, changed font to OG to see whats up… i get it now, still that “sample” word in the title everywhere… as i previously mentioned it can confuse in a live situation, like it takes time to read thru all fx names like where is my Reverb Send? ah its sample reverb snd now, hmmm… etc
while it was as it was in 1.8 for YEARS, my guess its hardwired kinda in the brain for most (?) users, and now its different and takes more time to read thru fx title.

also see no reason to submit a wish here, mostly nobody cares among users and the polyend is always boss

Just wanted to squeeze my opinion in here once again as Ive mentioned this as an easy fix before and that is:

font color

This applies to sounds (notes in grid view) and tracks ( reflects in song mode) …

Also a suggestion is just use the letter S instead of sample and P for plug … but really lets just use the visual senses as its … well self-explanatory :kissing_heart:

Ive got a a list of 100 improvements :zap:

if you feel like it PM me :sparkles::sunglasses::v:
