Every track of a song went straight into its output. Now the Song tab
has a second view, Routing: a graph with a node per track and one
Output, the links between them sends. A track can go into other
tracks, into several at once, and a link has its own volume and the
point of the track it taps.
- The song asset has a graph like an instrument (SongTrack, SongOutput).
heldSongGraph keeps it in step with the tracks on load and in
SetSongCommand: a node per track named after it, one output, a new
track and every track of an old song linked to the output. Links of
gone tracks, doubled links and links closing a loop are dropped.
- A link carries an optional send (volume in dB, tap). The inspector
shows Volume and Mode for a picked link of a song: Post volume (Post
pan), Pre volume (Post FX), Pre volume (Pre FX). SetSendCommand.
- NodeDef has two new flags. `fixed` nodes are never added or deleted
by hand. Links between `acyclic` nodes may not close a loop, checked
in canConnect, dropTargetPort and ConnectCommand.
- songBuses gives each track its sends instead of one `into`, and a
bus `song:<song>:<track>:#items` for its own items. That bus is what
solo closes on a track that only passes a soloed one on.
- Mute and solo now act on the sends (trackGates). A muted track passes
nothing on, on any tap. A soloed track is heard with what goes into
it, through the tracks it goes through, their own items silent.
Only sends on a way through a soloed track stay open, so a track
going into it and into the output is heard through it only.
- SoundLibrary: a bus has either `into` or sends. Each send is tap,
delay, level, target. busLatency takes the latest way (arrivalOf),
and each send is held back so all ways of a track arrive together
(sendDelays). Taps are wired again whenever a chain comes or goes.
- The Song tab has Timeline and Routing in its header. The routing
uses GraphCanvas with an empty palette. A track linked nowhere shows
"Goes nowhere". Delete takes links, never a track node.
- Game playings route the same way, the output being the master of
the playing.
Decided without asking: a send ranges -60 to +12 dB like a track,
default 0 dB Post. Mute closes the sends, the track's own level stays.
Found on the way: the inspector built the Mode row with the send as it
was when the rows were made. Setting Volume and then Mode wrote the old
volume back. Both rows now read the current send when they change.
Tests:
- Unit song-routing (new): 13 green. Sound library: 4 new, 94 green.
11 counter-probes (loop on load, canConnect, solo, solo past the
soloed track, mute, preFx latency, graph sync, delete guard, delays,
taps, glide), each red.
- Existing tests adjusted to the new bus names and send shape: song,
bus-fx, song-play, graph registry, edge description.
- e2e 65 on melektaus-atx: ALL PASSED, 43 checks (5 new). The first
run caught the inspector bug. Counter-probe with the old closure:
2 FAILED.
- Gate on melektaus-atx: typecheck, lint, format clean, 2 tests red
(registry rule, edge shape), fixed and rerun locally: 56 green.
- Not rerun after the per-send solo fix: e2e 65 and the gate.
