Re: [jokosher-devel] [PATCH] Fixed solo button behaviour

["Panos Laganakos" <panos laganakos gmail com>]

Ableton Live[1], solo button behavior works like this:

1. If I just press the solo button, it sets the channel at solo. If i
try soloing another channel, it removes the solo from the previous, so
only one channel is solo at a time (a the term 'solo' states).

2. If I hold down Ctrl+click, I can set more than one channel to solo.

Leaving Ctrl and pressing solo on a channels, takes us to 1, and
cancels any previously soloed channels from 2.
