I agree with others comments that the “Add new effect” button should be above the existing FX, and that the new effect should be added at the top, so the behaviour in the Group Panel matches the order of the Mixer.

By popular request, the “add new effect” (or “+”) button is now placed at the end of the chain.

I don’t understand the need for the Tick button. I like the information about the effect to be shown in the Inspector as soon as I click on the effect name. I don’t like having to click the “Tick” button as well. Can we add an option to hide this button and have the information automatically displayed?

I can’t see how I can avoid the tick/select button. There need to be an indication in the group panel of which effect track is selected, and thus which track is being edited with the object lists at the bottom of the inspector. I can’t see how I can combine this into the selector buttons. The selectors already use colors to indicate plugin open/close state. Clicking selectors are used to open menus or open/close editors, and you don’t always want the track to be automatically selected when you just want to open a plugin editor.
