VST Plugin Black Square - More Sensible Solution

Post by MallorcaMalle » Sat Mar 21, 2026 8:49 am

Problem: When instantiating a VST plugin, Live shows this well known black xy square by default. Which from my experience not so many people really use. If you want to see or configure the more important plugin parameters you have to expand the view.

Feature Request: Instead of showing the black square, it should show the 8 first configured plugin parameters. The black square should only be shown optional when clicking the expand button. So it should therefore be exactly the opposite of how it is now.
