Req: Midi Map buttons and actions

[peterswimm]

It would be cool to map controls and the save state toggle via midi, then I can make a cool midi controller definition for my controller. Also would be nice to be able to assign a cc to toggle the save in the SRAM context menu.

This is a good idea, and will get around the fact that Ableton doesn't support sending keystrokes to VST's (for people that have MIDI controllers, anyway!). However I'd be very reluctant to reserve a CC for SRAM saving. I don't think it's a good idea to link a CC to something that writes to disk, no matter how small! I'd be more likely to implement an auto save feature that detects any writes to SRAM and writes to file accordingly.

Constant autosave is desirable, and preferable. I personally don't think someone would AUTOMATE this feature, I just want to map it to a button on my keyboard. Either way would make me happy tbh.

Also if you want to use a gamepad, you could just have them do this:

The bonus of this is that you could have a bunch of lsdjs running in unison off the same gamepad
