could you apply some things across the touch screen that would act like frets on guitar :-D
that way you could just work on the right sliders for example without looking

ha ha! Nice one!!

But you know, the thing I love about this is that its so easy to throw together an interface that you can make whatever you need. 
They are so very ephemeral... the editor needs a few tweaks, like the ability to have abunch of instances open at once would be nice, making cutting and pasting easy.. but a hint is to just check everything off the design stage, just drag it on when you need it...

Just chuck one together for tonights show...

For example, make an interface that has a button for record on an edp, then you record the content to the repeater by a second record button, this time the repeater button, then you swipe across the screen, this simultaneously pitches the edp down and pitches the repeater up a 5th... wait for it.. jam a bit.. add stuff... then Sus unround multiply the edp and go crazy on the xy pad that pitches and pans the repeater... 

take a bow
now selects the Touch OSC screen that resets everything...
now select a new layout with more special collections of controls... this time huge reverbs being reduced to 0 in a finger swipe and being caught in a reverse delay... you can grab any parameter in the GR55, so its like being able to totally screw up your patch, but then reselect it and its back to normal...

I havent actually DONE this yet, but its looking good...
