grouping the audio-chains

[user]

i've read a ticket with the containers for effects but this idea is a little bit different from the previous one

for example you have an audio-chain like this: generator->effect1->effect2->effect3

so you can group the whole chain to one special machine called group1, so in the machine view there will be only one machine visible instead of the whole chain, and after clicking on it, the new window will apear with group1 machines (similar to the normal machine view, but instead of "master" machine there should be something like "group1 out").

this will help getting all the machines well organized, the basic idea of this concept would be also that the audio-chain needs to be started with the generator(s) or vst instruments (not an effect), i think it would also help implementing the freeze function and parallel mixing (the whole group would be independent in such organization, at least when not using side chaining)

the enhancement of this idea could be also passing parameters from group1 machine to its relative machines.

for example generator1->filter->eq->phaser->group1 out

we could pass the note parameter from generator1, the filter frequency and the phaser trigger to the group1 machine, so after opening the pattern editor with group1, you would have 4 columns: note, filter frequency, phaser trigger on/off and overall volume of the group1
