Some ideas to make Synth Rack a better place
1. Ability to drag synths with a mouse to rearrange the order.
2. Display patch name next to synth name like this:
 EDIT: This may not work with non-CW synths, so instead of displaying Patch name it better have a name, synchronized with corresponding track, e.g.
Rename Track1 -> Bass and this change is reflected in Synth Rack, and vice-versa.

 
and shorten long synths' names automatically, like this:
 

EDIT: Synths with multi patches by default can have [Multi] next to the synth name. And this field needs to stay user editable.
 
3. Synth folders with ability to Mute, Solo, Freeze and Archive all synths contained within that folder.
4. The best part! Synth Chains that work like FX chains. That is users can add several single channel synths like RPro, RS, DPro etc., assign each to particular MIDI channel, create macro controllers for synths' parameters.

Yep..  Was waiting for someone to suggest this. Logical if you ask me.
Got my vote and thanks for the pic!
Helps to bring the point home.

The images didn't come through... 
 
But I voted anyway 'cause I like it.

Why? If reordering synths is a stumble block I can just delete this suggestion.

Soundwise

It's usual for threads in this forum with with overlapping themes to get merged. Presumably this is to avoid having multiple threads covering the same topic.

Glad the suggestion re-surfaced. Still would be a nice enhancement if we can move them around as desired in the synth rack.

It's up to Mods. Let us stay on topic.

How would you suggest handling a synth with 16 patches as far as naming goes?

Good point, Dan. Thanks for your question! Synths with multi patches by default can have [Multi] next to the synth name. And this field needs to stay user editable.
