Non-audio layers not accessible in zynmixer branch #569

Closed riban-bw closed 2 years ago

riban-bw commented 3 years ago

Describe the bug ZynMixer branch presents layers as chains feeding channel strips in an audio mixer. Access to each channel is from the mixer but non-audio channels such as MIDI effects chains can not be easily accessed after they are created.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

  1. Add MIDI effects layer
  2. Try to access the MIDI effects layer

Expected behaviour Ability to access MIDI effects layer.

Setup:

Additional context It may be advantageous to present MIDI chains as empty channels, i.e. just the channel number in the legend strip to allow it to be accessed.

It is possible to access MIDI layers by pressing the LAYER button within the control screen to page through the layers.

This can be also useful for engines using multiple MIDI channels and a single audio output (setBfree, Aeolus). We could find a way of "grouping chains" (logic and visually) sharing a common audio output.

Fixed by presenting all layers in mixer view.
