Would be amazingly cool if we could quickly jump to different parameter pages via the grid pads like it’s made on the T+. Yes, the Play’s screen is not as big, but the pads can have different colors so some color coding can be made. For instance, the osc parameter page pad is always green, the filter page pad is always yellow, etc. Combined with the ability to use six knobs to access six parameters at once it would make synth patch editing 100x easier and quicker.

Yeah the way it’s done on the tracker+ is amazing and given they already have working code for it, hopefully they can just easily port it with whatever changes are needed due to slightly different interface and controls on the play+. It’s my most wanted feature out of everyone I have voted on here by far.
This is how it could look like.
Green - osc pages, orange - filter, red - amplitude envelope, cyan - mod sources (two envelopes + two LFOs), blue - six slots of mod matix, yellow - voice settings, pink - six macros.
The Play even has an advantage over the Tracker, as you won’t have to match to which synth page a pad corresponds to looking at the screen thanks to color coding and there is more than one knob…
Polyend, please, make this happen

Taking something from the polyend synthesizer UI would also be a usable option if possible.

I think the last one is the best from a UX point of view. Showing the 8 parameters on the screen that map to parameters. OSC, lowpass, Unison, LFO etc.

@radfaraf I came here to say exactly this. The Synth has practically the same knob layout and screen size as the Play+, so the UI could be copied almost exactly to the Play+ for synth edit mode.

How do you vote in this, I’m just hear to emphasize that the play + desperately needs a fun and effective way to edit the synths.
Half the presets are a waste and sound design is so uninspiring, it feels like the synths are an afterthought gimmick than a prominent feature.
Which is a shame since the synths with the fx can sound pretty good.

The same way you vote on any one at the top. I was relying on it’s smarter to have one issue for this and show how popular it is. Rather than have 3+ vote threads for the same thing implemented in different ways and make it look less popular and never get done. Improving it anyway way possible is better than not at all instead of getting hung on one specific way. Trusting that if they really want to they could move forward then with a vote on various choices that they like or consider possible, or talking to people about it to figure out what is best, or just using their own brains because they pretty good at designing when they put their minds to it.
