Just a few more bits and pieces in 'master'

Editing a default sound will now correctly change it in the gui from 'Simple
Sound' to 'No Title' in the main window, the mixer panel, and the editing

NRPN Direct part control can now change audio output destination - Yay! for
the
automators :)

Vector control features can be independently reversed. Before they all
worked
in the same sense:
x1 pan > x2 pan
x1 filter > x2 filter
As x1 pans left to right it gets 'brighter' conversely x2 goes right to left
and gets duller

But now you can do:
x1 pan > x2 pan
x1 filter < x2 filter
As x1 pans left to right it gets *duller*

Great, I think this is very important in making interesting sounds!

I'm guessing they're all linear ATM? An interesting feature that some
other synths have is to be able to assign a particular curve to each CC
input, which would allow you to do things like use an exponential curve
which would make a sound heavily distorted only towards the end of the
range, but fairly clean elsewhere. I've used this occasionally in DAWs.

Volume is an inverse square law, but all the others are linear. It *might* be
possible to add an extension to change the law, although volume will probably
remain fixed.

I'm also planning to provide an extension so features 2 4 and 8 (a new one) can
be set to any valid CC, although they will be created with the current
defaults. Not only will X and Y be able to have different CCs from each other,
but vector control on any other channel will also be able to be completely
different as well.

Feature 1 will remain fixed as volume for several reasons - It is likely to be
the one most used. It has that special law to make the overall sound level seem
consistent. It can't be 'reversed' due to bit limits (but all the others can
be so you get the same effect)

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
