Synth/Kit Categorization Idea Proposal

I know this pops up fairly regularly, but I wanted to throw in a potential way of adding categorization without adding a whole lot more menu diving. It would involve assigning the Audition buttons as preset categories (e.g. Bass, Keys, Pads, Samples, etc.) - and maybe the Mute/Launch column could be for "Preset Banks A-H" (I can't remember if there are limitations on the number of presets). Then all the presets for each category could be selected at will using the main grid. Maybe this could happen while the Synth button is held or something. The same could be applied for Kits. Obviously this kind of thing is easier said than done but this was just a reasonably elegant UI solution I thought of for accessing presets/samples in a similar way to Polyend Tracker.

(Or even if there was a way to add an option of subfolders whenever Load+Synth is pressed or if they could be accessed by having each category/bank pop up on the OLED rather than every single Synth/Kit preset, that would be step up imo.)

I have other suggestions but preset/sample navigation is probably my main gripe whenever using the Deluge.
