Plugin recycling - now that's a treat
I've always cited the PC as my preferred option over regular plugins because apart from sounding great, there's no need to have a million FX UI open at one time. Now I can use plugins much the same. Click on one and its UI opens, click on another and its UI opens and replaces the previous one, repeat ad nauseam.
I love it. Of course the option is there to open and not replace if you prefer. The little things make the big difference to me. YMMV of course.

It's a great feature isn't it. There's a shortcut for it by holding ctrl while opening plugins, it toggles the state.

Not sure if you weren't lucky enough to early adopt.
There are a whole host of 'little' improvements that make a big difference. For me the collapsible Control Bar, Plugin recycling, and the way CCs are displayed now all make it that little bit quicker for me to work. Not forgetting of course the number of sends displayed has been increased. Not that was much of an issue for me as I had a screenset workround. But it has freed up a screenset now.

I mentioned in my mini review yesterday that there were so many small improvements to overall workflow.

I think eventually that'll be the main way forward. Sure there are major things that can be added but a DAW must at some point reach "feature saturation point" and it becomes more about how easy the tools are to work with rather than how many tools there are.

I hope we can still have 3 or 4 or a million fx UI open at one time. That's the way I like to work. Is this a new option or a new world order?

It's an option that you can either perform on the fly, or set in preferences.

+1 to the OP. I didn't recall reading about this prior to installing and sorta just discovered it while trying the new stacked FX Bins. While I'm a good 90% PC these days, these two changes to FX Bin use may just move the split point a little.

I'd like to think the bakers are listening to me, but I doubt it..........
Very welcome addition all the same.

Looks likje great feature! How about being able to flip forwards or backwards to see/control parameters on the previous plugin displayed?

I believe bakers are listening to us, but perhaps they're either interpreting what we want in different ways, or applying their own wishes to them as well. I've not seen this feature yet, but it does sound useful and cleaner. If you can't have all your plug-ins fit into the PChannel, then this is probably a good substitute.

I don't know there's any benefit with ProChannel because PC plugins are accessible by scrolling if too many to fit the window vertically.
This new featur Plugin Recyling has to do with normal VST plugins.
At one time every plugin opened its own window so if you had 10 plugins you'd eventuall have a screen full of open plugins. Now you can set a default behaviour where a newly opened plugin will take the window of the one already open resulting in there only being one plugin window being open at any one time.
The setting can be over ridden per fx or in prferences as a default behaviour. It's similar in function to the Windows Explorer setting where each click can open up a new window or use the existing window thus keeping your desktop clean.
