Uh, isn't "Widgets" a bit too geeky? I would prefer it say "Show Samplers" or "Show Sampler Decks", "Show Microphone Controls", and "Show Vinyl Control buttons" or something.

Good point, it is also an ambiguous term for translators..
We might simply substitute "Widgets" with "Section", like we did in the menupoints tooltips .
"Show Sample Deck Section" , "Show Microphone Section" and "Show Vinyl Control Section"

Any comments from native english speakers? Otherwise, I assume the proposal #5 is fine.

My only issue with that is string length. Seems more concise to say "Show Samplers" for example, but the meaning is the same, so it's not a big deal.
