CMC "e"-button

Even with pictures…sigh. ftr, he wasn’t trying to edit the actual VST/Instrument (f8 button).
It was about trying to get the same Instrument panel on the midi channel that you get on the instrument channel by hitting the button.
iow, Opening the Instrument panel the midi channel is controlling.

I am in the same boat. Wish the ‘e’ opened the Instrument editor panel and not the midi panel for the instrument.
Yes, it works as it should but there really should have been a behavior option for it or at least the option to add it w/the shift button.
