Ability to distinguish units in the instrument list (was: Numbered op list)

To make it easier to keep track of multiple same ops in a row, it would be good to have a numbered list of ops in the instrument!

another cool feature would be the option to assign a color to ops in the op list

You mean the instrument editor should show the index of the unit to it left? That's super easy to do, but I wasn't sure that alone is helping too much + adds visual clutter in the GUI (it starts to be pretty busy already!).

I like this a lot more. One could color units to remind which one is which. I'll probably look into this.

maybe make it an option then? it's how we choose targets in the send op, for example, and it would be good to have a direct reference in mind instead of say, counting filters to find the fifth one - for any op, not just the ones we've colored :)

edit: also, I wouldn't worry about clutter too much. A) consider your target audience B) you have a whole ass tracker in there already , with a screen full of letters, numbers and dots!
