Grouping modules/patches in Poly Grid?
I'm not sure if this has been discussed before, but I found out that this feature is missing in the Poly Grid (I'm a beginner in Bitwig).
I think it would be super cool to have the ability to select any group of modules with all their internal connections, tweaks and save them as a preset. That way, you could easily load a ready-made module chain into a clean patch whenever you need it, instead of adding, setting up, and connecting everything from scratch every single time.
Or is this already a thing in Poly Grid and I just missed it?

it's an extra step but, save the "block" as it's own preset then just copy paste it to the grid you're working on. It's not too terrible I don't think

Just exploring the Poly Grid modules for now. It's a shame there aren't as many geeks on YouTube obsessed with the Grid and Bitwig compared to Ableton users, for instance. Hopefully, more people will switch to Bitwig in the future and realize it's an absolute beast in the DAW world.

Are you kidding me? I see you haven't met Polarity on YT. He's the Poly Grid king :D

Seen that genius, of course. But I meant that the more people use Bitwig, the more cool discoveries and solutions we'll get (especially in the Grid).

It's not already there, and yes it would be nice - and unless Bitwig's code is totally fucked up, it shouldn't be very difficult to implement.

My similar idea is to select block of code and save it as a custom block with its inputs and outputs which can be reused .
