     - features
-      - grouping of parameters
+      - grouping of parameters, each group has:
-        - each group has a label and references a list of dparams or properties
+        - a label: giving a title to the group
+        - a role:
+          - this can give the UI a hint about the purpose of the controls
+          - this only makes sense, if we dont make this a thousand templates
+        - a list of dparams or properties
     - question
       - should this be aware of instruments (voice-groups)
-      - do we better use this to tell that a frequency is infact a note
+        - no, instruments should auto-generate those
