Description
_Label: Suggestions > = 1.2.1_
Just as it is useful to be able to listen to a preset in song-editor, i think it could be useful, if each **single-usage** mixer-channel had the same button.
A mockup :
The implementation is a copy of the button in song-editor, with two important differences.
- If more than one preset is using the same fx-channel, there should not be a play button.
- If more than one fx-channels SEND to the channel, there should not be a play button.
The functionality became relevant as i tried to move channels around into groups. There i missed being able to listen to the allocated presets.

Research direction
Start by comparing the existing play button in the song-editor with the FX mixer’s single-usage channels. Trace how preset usage and FX-channel sends are represented, then verify the button is omitted when either condition has multiple sources. Done means eligible channels can preview their allocated preset while shared or routed channels cannot.
