Multiple MainController's/SynthChain's

[eggnog]

Hi!

Quick question: is it currently possible to run multiple MainController's (and SynthChain's) simultaneously ?
I'd like to host each instance of a ModulatorSampler in a separate track plugin to allow rendering each of them separately (and possibly concurrently). The only concern about this is that the MainController has its own SampleManager, so if I create multiple instances, I get mulitple SampleManager's as well. It would be quite trivial to use a unique SampleManager, but I'm just wondering if that's the right approach to get a more fine-grain access to processing different chains separately.

TIA!

Moreover, right now updating some sample properties (like Sample Start/End), is done via the KillStateHandler, which kill all voices on the main synth chain, which momentarily suspend all sampler instruments, app-wise.
I can avoid this by setting the define FRONTEND_IS_PLUGIN to 1, but that might not be the right approach for my use case.

Any help appreciated!

Thanks!

@eggnog The MainController is supposed to be unique and encapsulates a single plugin. There are literally thousands of edge cases that will cause issues if you break that assumption.

@Christoph-Hart Makes sense, I investigated more about having multiple MainController's and it was definitely the wrong route. Pretty satisfied with FRONTEND_IS_PLUGIN for my use-case.
Thanks!
