Make Panels act as containers

Question

It would be very cool if when you move a panel, all the controls in that panel moved too. And...if you could copy and paste a panel in the same way doing a "make similar" on all the controls in a panel would.

For example, with my VG99 I can configure an Amplifier A and an Amplifier B, both of which have identical sets of controls, but with slightly different midi-config. I could copy and paste a whole set of controls then simply tweak the midi values and be done! :)

Just talking about panels with controls, forgetting whether they can be hidden or not:

Initially, panels contained controls in MIDI Designer.... this was amazing because you have COPIES of panels. But I digress.

So if you had save, load, and change channel in design mode for panels you'd be happier?

Then: I have to think of how to deal with panels in MIDI Designer. I might not touch panels at all, but rather add a concept of GROUPS in MIDI Designer (like in design programs). That would be VERY simple. Groups are what you call containers, I think...?

Glad that this would be simple!!!

Containers, groups, macros..........

Call'em whatever you like!!! Would make life easier for a lot of people.

For example i keep using the same of diferent sets of objects that comprise a preset group for other controls(preset knob/slider, store/recall buttons and increment/decrement buttons). It would be so much easier to save these objects as a groups and insert them somewhere in a project.

Important thing is to be able to move them together as a group, because otherwise it would not be soo helpful, since the same result can be accomplished by using saved pages but the hassle is huge when you have to move the objects one by one.

Understood, thanks!

Plus one from me too...the ability to group controls is something I am desperate for! Particularly being able to move things as a group, like you said, just like I can do in my graphic design software. Hope to see it soon.

Working on this right now! Should be out soon... it's part of a larger push, but this is an important piece.
