Ok I need some words from you guys with full sight. Is this structure clear enough, can you see the relief text in it?

On my monitor it isn't clear enough, it's a good Iiyama, but I am on 1280x1024. The text is almost unreadable, the embossed text is readable, but I also have to concentrate on that to make out. I would make the fonts at least 1px larger.

Do you understand the layout at the first look at it? That's maybe the most important aspect.

I agree w/AM; the text needs to be a tad larger, & the relief with more contrast.

I get it after studying it for about 30 seconds. Might be better to put the arrow flows between each block, so when they're full, you can still see what is going on.

Your color coding is a good idea, & I like the chunky look.

So I should put the relief arrows in the gray zones between the blocks?

Yes, I'd say so. Think of it this way; you have been working on this for a few days/weeks, & know the software very well. When someone downloads it, they may give it about 2 minutes (sometimes I don't give it that), so they need to be able to figure things out very fast. I like your layout very much, I just feel it could use a little more "idiot-proofing".

So basicaly you suggest me skipping the embossed text, shrinking the menus and adding the text in the grey area a bove + an arrow. Correct?

Hmmm... how ever you think it looks best!

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
