Problem:
  • In radio button grids used for switching loops or settings, the active selection’s name is not always visible.
  • Users must remember what each position in the grid represents or manually check elsewhere.
  • This lack of immediate visual confirmation can slow down workflows or cause mistakes, especially in live performance scenarios.
Proposed Solution:
  • Add a toggleable widget that shows the label of the currently selected radio button grid option.
  • The widget should sit close to or within the grid interface and update in real time as selections change.
  • Provide style/layout options to fit different UI themes and preferences (e.g. font size, color, position).
Benefits:
  • Offers instant feedback on the selected grid option, improving usability.
  • Reduces visual ambiguity and cognitive load for users.
  • In live performance or complex patches, ensures clarity about active selections.
Examples:
  • In a 3x3 sample-trigger grid, display the name of the active sample (“Kick 1”, “Snare 2”, etc.) above or below the grid.
  • When toggling between presets via radio buttons, the current preset’s name appears clearly at the widget.

Original Post:
Version 2.0 has improved radio button grids, that allow you to a name or label to the radio button grid. HOWEVER.... if you give the radio button grid a name or label... the label appears on the UI, no choice.
RATIONALE:
Having a name /label to a radio button grid is valuable; but PLEASE consider all the places where it may be used.
1) On the UI
2) In Actions
3) ???? any other places
It is WONDERFUL to be able see the name/label of a radio button grid in actions where the name or label is MUCH BETTER to identify it, rather than 'Radio Button Grid 3'. So YES - Thank you we can name radio button grids, so that we can see them by meaningful name in Actions or in MIDI bindings.
HOWEVER..... in many cases, for many users the display of the radio button grid name/ label on the UI is or may not be needed. After all, you have labels on each button on the radio button grid; and in most cases, those labels tell you - or communicate - the purpose of the radio button grid; no additional labeling is needed.
SoooOOoooo - please make display of the name/label of a radio button grid OPTIONAL, but allow or continue to allow (version 2.0) users to name or label a radio button grid so that seeing the name of the widget in an action brings more meaning to actions and MIDI bindings; especially after they are made and you're trouble shooting things.
Thanks 4 Great Software!!
