Description
Probably the title can't really explain what i mean. I just want to notice that, some plugins that doesn't have their own gui (like the mda fx and magical 8bit plug) and use the interface of the plugin host don't show nothing when loaded and you need to click on the wrench icon to see the various knobs. This could be really unintuitive, especially for beginners.
So i think it would be better to directly load the lmms-type window in the main window, like FL Studio, for example, does.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue with the mda FX and Magical 8bit Plug plugins, then trace how external plugins without their own GUI are loaded and how the wrench action reveals their controls. Done means the LMMS-style plugin window appears directly in the main interface without requiring the wrench icon.
