Bug Description
I rarely use samplers, actually never in a live mix.
But I do abuse samplers to hold tracks for later on.
I'd rather replace the samplers with Parking decks that only show the cover art, title & artist.
Those decks are reminders only and not for preview, so no controls or visuals are necessary at all which would make the decks very light on RAM and CPU, right?
I guess this can work if Parking Decks/Samplers are selected like a color scheme, to reload the skin when the option is changed.
While parking decks are supposed tobe super minimal something like a moodbar lp:1074392 would be nice.
Controller situation:
* press click/turn Trax encoder to pick a track from the tracks table
* turn to choose parking deck (highlighted in skin)
* press Trax again to drop track to selected parkign slot
(* selection timeout to abort parking mode?)
unplayable tracks should be refused, tough. But the check requires them to be loaded like in a regular deck, right? what's the peformance impact?
Does it make more sense to abuse the [Sampler] groups to just strip down the samplers in the skin?
