Description
Issue type
UX/Interaction bug (incorrect behaviour)
Description with steps to reproduce
When working with multiple open windows at the same time, starting the playback from the MIDI controller starts it for all windows at the same time. It would be preferable if the MIDI remote control only works for the currently active window.
