Automation labels & tooltips

See the image. I've automated both sends. Can you tell me which is which?

One easy option that can be extended across a lot of functions in maschine: Mouse over tool tips. If I hover my mouse over, give me a basic tool tip with the full label.

While you're at it; put tooltips everywhere. If I hover over the play button, show a tooltip of "Play/Stop [spacebar]". They're really helpful.

What's the use case here? are you using external HW FX? Sounds like the ability to rename the Outputs could help more directly.

 

Renaming would work too; but mostly it's just the ability to know what you've automated. I used the sends as an easy example that I run into all the time, but the same issue happens with anything being automated when the label is more than a few characters.

Pick a synth with two oscillators. Automate both. Which lane is which?

 

That's Modulation (Automation is when Maschine Plugin is hosted in a DAW and the DAW is controlling a parameter)

In that specific scenario and assuming you want to see the Knob names in the GUI or Controller screens you can just rename them; for example i renamed 2 Modulation Knobs controlling 2 detune knobs from a Synth. Doing this for Sends might be possible depending on the scenario, but if it implies changing the Output names then it's not possible.



The modulator name shrinking in the lanes is still annoying tho, it would be much better if it just used the name we chosen.
