[ENH] Improve Pattern Automations

[ArTiSTiX]

I just tested FL11.5a, great job.

But there is a feature I am dreaming about.
Since the beginning I think, the event editor permits to create automations, but "value by value, or step by step"...
(ok, smoothing is cool... but editing those events is a pain)
Or since automation clip feature, it's much easier to use curves to edit those automations (LFO, sin, sin2, hold, etc... wow).

So why the Event editor would not be able to use curves ?
Maybe you will need to merge those 2 complementary features (clips & events) but it would make FL Studio more usable.

Also, i explored the possibility to play automation clips directly in patterns... but display is not very comprehensible, and piano roll have no use, any note will trigger the same "automation curve".
Thus, if i need to play different curves, i need to have many automation clips... horrible.

IMO it would be a great evolution to rethink those clips to have a homogeneous automation system for FL12 (maybe after ?).

Perfect Use case:
* I have as many automation clip as automated parameters
* I can draw curves manually, or with points & math funcs
* I can play it in playlist or in pattern (and have similar rendering, with curves displayed).

--
One additionnal suggestion: It's very hard to see in patterns what are automation events played.
It would be awesome to be able to have them rendered somewhere like step sequencer displays notes:
- a new window for all events recorder for FX parameters (or directly in step sequencer ?)
- A list rendering under the concerned generator sequence (a collapsible list of events associated, as for piano roll events docked editor).

If you need more explanation, i can take some time to show concept mockup.

Thanks this great software. No... awesome software.
