My only wish for the specimen GUI would be some way to visually group the patches together by MIDI channel.

i.e if I had three patches on channel 1, four on channel 2, and seven on channel 3, it'd be great to see them in some kind of GTK TreeViewWidget in the left column, grouped by MIDI channel with little pivoting triangles next to each channel to expand/contract them.
