Sequencer Effects Reorganization

With the possible addition of several more built-in sequencer effects, it has been realized that the current menuing for the sequence editor is not designed for growth. There are many effects which could be built in for ease of access and expansion of the core toolset. The just need a logical home for placement.

We will discuss here 2 things:

• Menu Organization
• Core effects to add
