Making synth patch editing a faster, more fluid and more enjoyable experience would be very welcome. ### What is the problem? currently, editing synth patches is cumbersome, and feels like more like editing a system settings menu rather than adjusting synth parameters. ### What do you want to achieve? having 8 parameters on the screen at once, corresponding to the 8 knobs (shown in red in the picture) would mean you could adjust 8 related parameters at once. the 2 left hand screen buttons (shown in blue) would be used to switch between pages, each containing up to 8 parameters. ![20231218_094026_0000](https://backstage.polyend.com/uploads/default/original/2X/e/ed18234dba7a75135645f48c0890086ccbd098ed.jpeg) ### Are there any workarounds? no ### Any links to related discussions? > [@Make synths easier to program](https://backstage.polyend.com/t/polyend-play-make-synths-easier-to-program-by-making-full-use-of-the-knobs-and-or-pads/6926/9): > > I agree with this wish. having to edit with the list editor is not ideal. considering the amount of encoders on the play it would be great if some form of edit mode would allow them all to be used to adjust the synth edit parameters, perhaps with a new visual layout on the screen when in that mode to show which encoder = which parameter ### Any references to other products? elektron use 8 encoders that relate to parameters per screen. ---
