Rename Splitter to Mixer

Ideas that are too old (too many things have changed since) and ones which won't be implemented for certain reasons or if there are obviously better suggestions.

Rename Splitter to Mixer

Post by selkathguy »

I suggest we rename the splitter to mixer, seeing as it functions more like an additive mixer than a splitter, giving two outputs with a combination of both inputs.

What would be really awesome is the ability to click the mixer and change it's function, so that it can act as a mixer (as it does now), or in some other mode like a crossover (alternating putting track A on B and B on A), etc.

Here's why I would call this more of a mixer...

It's a multifunction device, if it was named mixer, some people might not realise it can be used to split the belt traffic.
Coming up with a good name that describes most possible functions isn't as easy as it sounds.
