Not a huge deal, but would be a helpful time-saver, particularly in troubleshooting.

+1!

If space is a concern, maybe make the current meters able to select which outputs are being displayed?

No additional space is needed. It's just a virtual LED at the connection point.

Oh, you mean on all jacks? I thought you meant for all soundcard/daw outputs, like this here:

Sorry, I wasn't specific enough. All I/O jacks including modules. VCV does this. Check out any VCV playback demo on YT.

Honestly, I like both ideas ;)

VCV only shows one meter per module. Very handy, though, to see which modules are hungriest.

That's a CPU meter, which I also requested for VM. What I also want is the pulsing dots on the ins and outs of connected jacks.

I think OP means the color indication on each individual jack that it has activity, not the resource metering. Tho I feel like there was another thread already requesting something similar to that ;)

K, this thread is intended to refer to the endpoints of the cables connecting modules.
