Play one track at a time ⛙ [UX] #2

what happens Not sure if intended: can play multiple tracks at once. This is a DJ/remix mode of sorts off the gates.

what could happen instead Limit to one track at a time

😆 We all independently discovered this "feature" and I think we've all grown quite fond of it.

We could make it a setting? @robagreda @rockymedure

As I logged this in github formally, by the natural law of proof of work, I suggest the name DJ mode (play more than 1 track at once).

I'm in the camp that yes the idea that you could preview multiple things at one time is nice, in reality it will lead to dismissing possible ideas that would flow if properly synced... and dissonance when actually stating the two samples from the zero point.

i think in a desktop client you could check out samples into a temp folder that then you could access in a daw that will sync at minimum the start of the sample, and in the more advanced cases will time warp them to actually flow together.

Hopefully with a key and mode field, you will be able to just limit samples by key and not have to by ear play them at the same time and hope the melody of the lead isn't just vibin' with the random sync of this "feature".

with hundreds or thousands of files, this will no longer be so neat trying to find the stop button.
