Yeah, agree totally. I have wanted that feature on many items,
like guitar pedals and synths. But really it is three things I think,
one button for normalizing all the patches, another for a different
vol for solos, and a third parameter setter that wil let you set
the value for the two settings. Oh yeah...also that it will let you
revert back to individual when the buttons are off.

It'd be cool, though I don't know if any of them would listen,
to have a mailgroup that would include all the major synth
manufacturers with a kind of wish list....I mean, they are ultimitely
making this equipment for US the actual users/buyers. You'd think
they would want this kind of feedback. Sadly, alot don't seem to.
I know some folks might have some weird items on a "wish list" for
features that only 1 out of a thousand buyers would want, but
mixed in there are some really great ideas like this one.

But Jimmy, I bet if you thought about it you could actually come up
with even more ideas for improvement?
