blipgrid's Issues

"new" function doesn't always reset to empty state

the "new" function (in the action menu) works the first time, but if you make changes and press "new" again, it will reload the changes you made, instead of creating a blank project. this is because we store the empty project in memory which is being overwritten, we need to make sure we "copy" the empty project in place instead of just loading it

changing mixer volume within mixer view unmutes a channel

we can set mute/solo states within the mixer view or by pressing shift/ctrl + {track number}
when changing the volume knob within the mixer view the channel unmutes, but this doesn't change the mute state within the UI (likely does within tone.js)
what happens if there's a channel that's solo? do we just unmute? prevent adjusting the volume? something else?
