Ergonomic disadvantages in the Mac Version
 
Dear all, I switched from Windows XP to Mac OS X recently. Everything is fine but there are two things in the Mac Version of VC that slows down workflow: 1. When I open a pop-up menu in the Mac Version of VC to select a wave or a pattern for the arpegiator, VC opens a very long list that does not fit onto the screen. If I want to select a later entry in the list, I have to scroll and scroll and scroll... In Windows: all the entries are displayed at once in more than one column. 2. This might be a thing I have to change in Cubase but maybe someone knows the solution? In Cubase 4.5.2.274 for Windows I could use the arrow keys to browse through the sounds in VC browser view. When I do this on the Mac, the arrow keys up/down select another track in the project window. However, as this happens with NI Plug-ins too, it might be something in Cubase... Thanks MaF

I think in general VC should get an overhaul in the future that addresses this issue with a slightly more user friendly selection window, maybe organized w/ headers of each individual section the function is from, ie Oscillators/Filter/Mod/Env/Effects etc. I don't know how feasible this would be, but I have to say that when making patches at 3 in the morning, staring down an enormous list and squinting to find the mod selection I want is not the most pleasant experience ever.

If this was easy to implement I think it'd do wonders towards workflow efficiency when creating new patches, and make the overall experience more friendly for beginners and experts alike.
