Instruments UI: Improve page selection

Wishlist Draft wishes
1

After using the TM for a bit, I am finding the 3 instrument parameter page toggling to be a little annoying/frustrating.

  • “Instrument Parameters 1/2” and “Instrument Automation 2/2” can all be accessed from the top level menu page by clicking the cursor to toggle the menu.
  • The “Instrument Effects” page can only be accessed as a submenu by first going to “Instrument Parameters 1/2” and clicking “more”.

It would make much more sense if all 3 of these menus were accessible from the top level menu, just like the Master pages.

What is the problem?

The Instrument parameter menu UI is not intuitive with the submenu from page 1.

What do you want to achieve?

Access to all 3 menu pages from the top level menu button, no submenu from Page 1.
Similar to the Master menu selection.

Are there any workarounds?

Getting used to how it currently works.

Any links to related discussions?

Not sure.

Any references to other products?

Tracker Mini’s Master menu selection :grin:

I’d love to see a whole instrument / modulation UI rework on the mini. it’s fairly clunky as is with the side bar.
would love to take a few cues from the M8 instrument UI. it’s very elegant and efficient with a joypad.

This could possibly be a very contentious wish :laughing: , i for one don’t mind it, but that’s because i’m used to it from the OG Tracker :person_shrugging: . But i do see your point and agree that it would probably be more intuitive on the Mini.

I’ve also altered your wish content slightly. :blush:
