Autogui fix - or alternative

Actually it’s good that SC issues those warnings because

That was something else, but I fixed it, should anyone still care

It’s not a bad gui, by the way. Nifty an compact:

Synth(\default).autogui

Still it doesn’t do the group magic I’m hoping for. Will probably have to write my own for that, but was worth checking out what exists already.

Also the monitor function doesn’t appear to work correctly, although maybe I misunderstand how to use it. E.g. if I do

Synth(\default, [\out, 4]).autogui

nothing hapens alas when I click the “m:Off”, besides the fact that it turns to “m:On”. I’m guessing it was inteded to do something similar to what NdefGui play does i.e. allow you to monitor a Synth playing on a “private” bus, but autogui doesn’t seem to quite work in that regard.

Actually, looking at the source code, that does something different. The monitor function for autogui means poll the control busses for external changes, so e.g. if you do

x.set(\freq, 200)

it won’t update the gui unless the monitor is turned on.
