Some poly progress

I'm working on making Wren polyfonic. The underlying idea is quite simple, just pass around a bit more data and let the modules compute that in separate voices.

But then there were 325 or so module types to be changed for poly mode .. some quite trivial, some a lot of work. I've done most of the modules by far, but there still are 60 or so that need attention - amongst them the MIDI modules, and also some that will stay monophonic probably.

Also made a couple of new modules for poly related trickery, like voice merging, splitting, viewing, selection, stuff like that.

But anyway got over 250 done, there probably still are some bugs in those, so was making a couple of test patches and made some recordings of the current one that tests poly sequencing. Both with five voices, one with the same tempo over al lthe voices and another with tempo changes, which can also differ per voice.

The patch :

The CPU level is a bit high here as I ran Wren in debug mode.

And the recordings are below:
