Description

If there are many samples or instruments loaded in the Pattern Editor, it naturally causes the sub-window to become scrollable. But when you scroll up with the mouse wheel, it places a beat (note) with faded volume. This is kind of an unwanted note.

Suggestion: Please place a check in the scrolling process in order to place a faded volume note. For example, __Ctrl + Wheel__ will change the volume of the note, and hence, normal mouse wheel will allow the window to scroll upwards or downwards.

Research direction

Start by locating the Pattern Editor's mouse-wheel handling and reproduce the issue with many samples or instruments loaded so the sub-window scrolls. Check that normal wheel input scrolls without placing a faded-volume note, while Ctrl+Wheel retains the volume-editing behavior described in the issue.
