No consistent way to use Synth Macros on Performance Mode

Bug Description

When I use synth instruments in Midi tracks, it’s impossible to control synth macros in performance mode. It seems to require a normal track to be armed for a performance effect to actually affect a synth, and will turn off the synth performance effect when a track is disarmed.

I feel like this isn’t the spirit of synth macros in performance mode. They shouldn’t require an armed track as synth instruments are intended to be used on midi tracks. Either they should work regardless of whether a track is armed or not, or it shouldn’t be included in performance mode.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create a pattern with a synth instrument sequenced in a midi track
  2. Open performance mode
  3. Make one of the performance effects a synth macro (4 is usually the filter cutoff so it’s usually easiest to hear)
  4. Try changing the macro in performance mode without arming a track, nothing happens
  5. Arm a track, now it should change the macro
  6. Arm more tracks and then disarm a track, the macro effect should turn off, even if there are still armed tracks
