Am I being dumb, or is it impossible to move the synth rack out of the browser? Not loving that.

Here's one - The ability to re-order tracks in the Console View.

Good point, plus the ability to read the track name in narrow view, plus the number of sends available, in fact - less said about the CV the better..........

I think the opposite.  The more we - as a user base - point out our needs, the better.
 
 

Yeah I agree, the "less said the better" bit was tongue in cheek, the whole CV is a bit of a disaster, not that I use it that much but all the same.........

Have CW promised it'll be fixed or did I dream that?

I quite like the console view, it's only really the narrow mode that's a problem IMO.

They're re-instating the ability to rearrange the order of tracks, but don't know about anything else.

This is a good example of supporting the concept of how people use the software and either know, don't know, haven't found out yet about something within the software.   And it helps point out the need for better choices.
 
Here's the scoop on the Synth Rack.
 
It is PART OF the Browser now.  Locked in.  No way out.   So if you want to move ONLY the Synth Rack - that's a no go.
 
Furthermore, as I've pointed out elsewhere, if you do resize the Synth Rack view within the Browser (to see the important assignable controls and on/off buttons, for example) you're, in essence, widening the ENTIRE Browser.
 
You can mutlidock the Browser and then see the Synth Rack wide.  But then you lose the ability to have a more streamlined browser (ie, docked on the right, for example) because you then give up seeing the Synth Rack as you might prefer.
 
See the problem(s) ?   That takes away some functionaliity and workflow for me personally.  Others have agreed.  I suspect you (now) do.

Yup, it's stuck in the Browser for now.  Hope they change that in X1b.

I think you dreamed that :(   But I agree.  It's not that the CV is my 'most used' view, but I DO use it and DO depend on it for certain things.
 
I cannot use it now. It just does not work well for my personal work flow.  Not as is.  If they improve it, that'd be sweet.  Will they?  No one knows.
 
 

The 'Save' and 'PRV' buttons.

That's a start (if it's so).  But far from 'good', imho.
 
 
 

Toward the top in TV choose "Custom". You can enable Pan/Vol?gain and more from there.
