Creative workflow additions (Phases 90–99)
These features prioritize fast musical experiments and retain the existing control-thread preparation and project undo model. They introduce no dependency or project-format change. Each phase is qualified separately in ROADMAP.md.
Selected track inserts
Track → Show selected track inserts (Ctrl+5) opens the sequencer or active mixer selection directly. Bus inserts are unsupported; no selection leaves the workspace unchanged. View → Track inserts still opens the rack independently. Ctrl+4 remains the piano-roll command, resolving the earlier shortcut collision.
Duplicate an effect
Select a slot, then Rack actions → Duplicate effect. The copy appears directly after it, retaining controls, automation, wet amount and bypass. It is an independent instance with fresh processing history. Eight-slot capacity and plugin preparation errors preserve the old chain; Undo removes the copy.
Copy a chain between tracks
Rack actions → Copy chain stores an independent metadata snapshot. Select another track and use Paste chain (replace) to replace its complete chain, including output gain. Copying neither loads modules nor changes undo history; pasting prepares the candidate and is undoable. The clipboard is internal to this session and clears on successful New/Open. Preparation errors keep both the destination and clipboard intact.
Compare effect configurations
Rack actions → Compare captures or recalls A and B. Each slot is bound to the track where it was captured; Recall is available only on that track. Capturing copies metadata without affecting undo or loading modules. Recall prepares a fresh chain and is undoable; histories and opaque plugin states are excluded. The two comparison slots clear on successful New/Open. Comparisons stop transport when recalled, following the existing safe insert-edit workflow.
