Merge track feature

[george-8461]

Merge tracks feature. Since we have variations We could merge the snare with kick tracks to free up one track and add separate kick as variation. The merge would only copy to empty slots. If the step exists on the destination then just leave that step intact.
The feature could be invoked the same way ascopying tracks as described in manual. The difference would be to double click on the destination or source track (which ever makes more sense for you users) So the play would know that you want to merge instead of overwriting a track.

What is the problem?

Sometimes I need an additional sample track

What should this feature achieve?

merge two audio tracks

Are there any workarounds?

copy step by step from another track

Any links to related discussions?

no

Any references to other products?

only polyend can do this

would be great. I suggested something like this 17h ago in the «one sample per row» thread:

Work step per row / a row keeps its sound / traditional programming mode

It would be even better, if: a) you could «compress» selected tracks into one, like placing all the drums part in just one row to organize your project. could be great, if you made a draft in the suggested sample-per-row mode and then switch to the default mode after such «compression» b) if two samples use the same place in a row, would be amazing if Play could render them into one separate sample, optionally c) They could be colored, so user could easily read the row such a workflow would …

with the addition that it would be even better if Play could actually render and merge some samples, if they take the same step (by user request, optionally). coloring steps after such a merge would be helpful as well.
