Ah wait, I just understood what you mean. An empty FX chain will already put an arbitrary constraint on the playback of the instrument, such that it can only be played on one track. I would suggest to remove this constraint. If there is no FX in the FX chain(s), then there is also no technical need to restrict the playback already at this point.
Nope, just tested it, in beta5, when FX chains are set to current track, and even when there actually are FX in the chains, the instrument can still be played on multiple tracks, just as if it had no FX at all (that is pretty cool actually!).
You can play it on multiple tracks, but you won’t hear it on multiple tracks. Same as with plugin based instruments.
I’d love to remove this constraint too, but it’s - well - complicated, up to impossible, not worth the downsides, or should be done completely different.
