Cable emulation sucks. We're two of us now.

Me three. Virtual cables are silly. They were fine back in the day when reason first came out and visually, they smoothed the transition to software. A pull-down menu is fine and uncluttered.

Better yet, just have a modular routing grid, like in operator or zebra. It's quicker, streamlined, and the visual representation is all in one place and easy to understand at a quick glance.

You can have it all...
Cables, dropbox and a skin with a matrix instead.
Although the skin still needs to be made.

There used to be a skin for the ABL that made it just look like Live 4.
With clips instead of buttons etc....
I think it was a live user called "sumatra" who made it.
