Ableton Forum

It would be great to have the option to "pin" a specific plugin window so that it remains open indefinitely and is not hidden when selecting a different channel.

Live already has the option to keep all plugin windows open across all tracks, but this is not what I'm referring to. I want to hide all plugins (as is normal) when selecting different tracks, but give a single window permission to stay visible as I switch between tracks.

For example, it would be nice to keep a spectrum analyzer on my master buss displayed while I change between other tracks.

This wont go anywhere, as there is already a request for something similar - "Ability to pin floating windows"

Heres a +1 anyway. Hopefully some day

Just adding a plus one for this feature.

Another +1... bet there's something 3rd party before Ableton implements it though!

+ 1 for this!

Did this request make it to Live 12?

+1 This would be very useful!!

The concept is old enough to be featured in software that people don't even use anymore, eg Reason.
