Multi-function select steps the specified track through a number of modes -
mute/umute/record.
It's designed to work with a foot controller that only has 8 assignable
switches - each switch can be assigned to step one track through the
different modes.

I still intend to finish off a few things, I just haven't had time to work
on it for several months.
Various other projects (electronic and otherwise) will be finished soon, so
I will try to get a 'release' version of v4 out there, so I can leave it at
that and dedicate coding effort to cirklon.
On the off-chance that more than one P3 owner has a Yamaha GX-1, this might
be of interest...

They both sound pretty simple to achieve...

Having used v4 for so long myself, I find v3 almost impossible to use - I
just can't remember how it all hangs together.
There are some things in v4 I wish I had done differently though, and of
course, these will appear in cirklon.
