All.

ok had a good sleep...lol.
heres some comments as i'm feeling refreshed.

1. in the two styles i exampled youll notice in one is a banjo and the other
there isnt. now the question becomes useing synthfont with ok 'timbres of heaven' when i double clik on those 2 styles does the following occur (like it would with coyo)...
a..on double clik each style sounds different and reflect the patch different settings.
b..in the synthfont display do the patch id's//names change ?
ie the user doesnt have to do any intervention and can happily move through the style list fast demoing with their chord sheet after doing F7 and displaying the styles list.
in summary the user doesnt have to go 'to and fro' changeing patches manually in synthfont display and then going back to the next style in the list.

ie...there is no hopping around or setting up fiddling ariound.
ie mirroring coyo behaviour.

to everyone...all i'm concerned for is the new user.
us long time users can 'find a way' to do things but the new breed of song creators often have a 'i want it now' approach otherwise they get frustrated.
there is another 'wrinkle'. viz rb can do loads more midi tracks than bb.
so how should this be handled re a replacement for coyo ?


sorry ...but i'm not trying to be a pita or 'diva'.
my concern is how to make things easy for the new user so they go 'wow pg thats neat'. without them haveing to go through lots of set up work like setting up patch templates in the plugin main display or haveing to download synthfonts etc etc.
it should be just like coyo currently with the minimal user intervention imho.

for example lets consider a new plugin...
the 'PG FANTASTIC GM/GM2 SYNTH PLUGIN'...
you just set it up in bb as default and thats all you need to do.
(and of course just like coyo there is no lag...ie great for new users with old clunky pc's.)
then like coyo the user useing the above new gm plugin (with extended sound sets ?) can merrily double clik in the styles list demoing styles fast with their own chord sheets.

i hope i make a modicum of sense.
if ive made any errors in my thinking feel free to throw rotten eggs at me...lol.

happiness.
