Description

it would be nice to have a "power" icon for each unit in the gui which would enable/disable each unit, even while the chain is playing. When enabling the unit would start playing from the current position. This is very useful to quickly A/B with and without some effect, or to temporarily disable an effect, and is standard for plugins in DAWs.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the GUI's per-unit controls and the playback-chain entry point, then trace how playback position is managed; done means each unit can be enabled or disabled during playback and an enabled unit starts at the current position.
