Ah, didn't know that, thanks. However this isn't ideal on touch screens, where you don't have a right-click. I'll type more about touchscreens in another message as PT could be improved in some small ways for it.

Also how about renaming 'reset' to 'restore'? I think this is more intuitive.

That's why "Restore" would overrule "Reset". Meaning, even if you "Reset", pressing "Restore" would go back to the default preset settings.

I like the idea of having two "reset" buttons. But people might get confused. Having two buttons would make it easy to accidentally wipe out a set of adjustments that are part of a preset and then save it, overwriting the preset with one with the same name but with the default settings for the instrument.

ReBased does have a good point. Renaming "Reset" to "Restore" and then adding a new "Reset" button (which would zero out no matter what) seems like a good idea, that shouldn't be too hard to implement

OK I can see the thinking, however this would be more obvious to me if the button were called 'Restore', not 'Reset'. Reset in this context implies removing the per-note settings.

Either way, a dedicated 'Zero' button would be appreciated. Having to copy zero values via a freeze is too complex & slow. I often want to quickly compare what a detuned instrument would sound like without detuning, so a zero button is important... or alternatively, an 'On' or 'Enabled' button which can temporarily disable the per-note settings.

I don't know if this is a bug or a feature: If I apply random note detuning in the Standard version, the 'Reset' button removes it (ie. zeroes every note).

However, if I edit a preset which already has random note detunes, and change them, then the Reset button doesn't zero them, but instead always restores the original (stored) random detunes.

Is this deliberate or a bug? To my mind, a 'reset' should always zero out these types of edits - especially as there seems no other way to zero them all (other than scaling them to zero).
