That depends on your building style. I hardly ever use sub patches, my
patches have too much interrealtion.

I /really/ dont like a seperation of wiring and controls, that breaks my
mental context. I have never used the GUI of a Nord in a live performance,
I link it to a MIDI controller and use that + the front panel. Infact I've
never even gigged a nord wired to a PC.
