Description:
Add a tag-based browser for Instruments & Effects (genre/name/favorites), a small header clock, support icon of plugin,
and a true Ableton-style Groove accent system (inside the Groove engine, not the metronome)
. Improve mixer usability with collapse/expand from any section and swipe navigation that preserves access to key controls (sends/pan).
Problem:
  • Large device lists are hard to browse without tags, favorites, and flexible sorting.
  • Performers often want a discreet time-of-day clock on the header.
  • Visual identification of buttons is limited to text/emoji; custom images or app icons would improve recognition.
  • Current Groove lacks per-beat accenting within its groove template; users want accents that shape clip timing/feel (à la Ableton),
    not metronome click accents
    .
  • Mixer sections collapse only from the left, slowing layout management.
  • Horizontal swiping can hide essential controls (sends/pan), increasing errors mid-performance.
Proposed Solution:
  • Tagged Browser:
    User-defined tags (e.g.,
    Bass, Keys, Ambient
    ), star/favorite, multi-sort (A–Z, tag, last used), and filters; “Collections” (saved filters) for quick recall.
  • Header Clock:
    Optional, minimal, theme-aware time-of-day readout with 12/24h and show/hide toggle.
  • **Button Images or icon of the plugin.
  • Groove Accents velocity (inside Groove engine):
  • Mixer Collapse Anywhere:
    Collapse/expand controls on each section/group; double-tap to toggle; remember state per page.
  • Swipe-Safe Mixer:
    Sticky column for pan/sends that stays visible while scrolling; “Quick Controls” overlay (press-and-hold) to adjust pan/sends without losing position.
Benefits:
  • Faster device selection with meaningful organization and favorites.
  • Clear, unobtrusive timekeeping during shows.
  • More legible, personalized UIs with an icon of a plug-in on the button.
  • Quicker mixer housekeeping and fewer accidental changes while swiping.
  • Better live reliability: key controls remain accessible at all times.
  • Header shows a small 21:30 clock during a set.
  • Drum pad buttons use background images (kick/snare/hats) with high-contrast labels.
Original Post:
I would like to be able to organize instruments & Effects by genre, name and favorite.
See the time of the day (clock) on the header.
Be able to add an image or icon to buttons.
Control the accent of the groove like in Ableton.
Be able to minimize and maximize some part of the Mixer at any place, not only from the left on the mixer.
Be able to swipe left and right in the mixers without missing the sends levels and pan while doing it.
