not quite as nice but you could do things like this easy enough

yeah that's cool thanks but it would be nice also if you could give the spacer maybe a color, or even some text vertically to label it.. also a la drum racks maybe a little triangle arrow that would hide/show the group of tracks belonging to the spacer.

* I like the way that you can have the names of the samples appear in the piano roll editor for impulse:

* I want the ability with a MIDI clip, to have exactly the same thing, and the ability to name each and every note myself - being laid out exactly the same way as above. This would make using soft samplers SO MUCH EASIER!!!! I would always know where my bassdrum, snare or exploding chicken sound was!!

that's also very needed because for example when you are using another percussion plugin using just notes you don't know by memory which note belongs to what sound, the labeling is very important if you're not using impulse

you can name every note.

just drop a midi effect rack in.

change the chain select to key

select the note.

name the chain.

right click on the chain name and the option to name midi notes will be there.

bobs your uncle.

Nice tip! Set a couple up with some GM Kit basics and wack it in the library for later.
Bit tedious if want to do custom stuff or big kits though.
