Updating the UI: Record Settings Edition
jasonfish:
I'd opt for B, but place the Presets menu at the top.
But I'm still curious what E looks like. :)

So they are! :-[ Sorry about that! Version E was correct. Version B has become, well, Version B now. Thanks for catching that.
Here is the proper version B. I've updated in in the original post as well.

I'm hoping it'll be OK. The new controls are a little chunkier than the old ones, so they should be easy to hit. If it turns out it's not, I'll redo the screen. (Maybe it can scroll vertically, like a web page, if it is really bad?)

*checks notes* ??? You're right! It should be a button for record modes, not trigger delay! Trigged delay absolutely belongs somewhere else. Thanks for catching that. I've fixed the button in the image above.

OK, I uploaded the *proper* version B now. I agree with you, E does seem less well organized to me.

Now that the images are correct, I need to change my answer to "I'd opt for E, but place the Presets menu at the top."

Like this?
Electra:
The 'fat finger' effect will need to be tested, but if the buttons are chunkier then I'm happy to hold off judgement until it's tested.
Please never use scrolling on any of the major windows, it really disrupts both look and ease of use.
I like the latest version. It presents everything in a nice easy to understand way. It also gives space on the right for more buttons as needed.
And I don't know if this is the right place for it, but would a 'save as preset' button be out of place here? Edit/remove/reset presets can be elsewhere, but being able to set everything up then 'save' them might be handy.
