channel 'group' values

[The Lo-Am Allstars]

This is another idea that i'm sure will already be on your list anyway, but just in case it isn't - a 'group' value assignable to channels. I imagine it being used for things like choke-groups for samples, and / or later, for effects i/o purposes - say, for sidechaining.

Good idea. We are working on the FX send bus, those two features will work fine together.
