I haven't seen this feature yet, but I think it would be quite useful... Sometime you have a channel and want to duplicate it, f.e. to increase the volume. I know about Ctrl+L, but image, you have a complete song and have to duplicate 2 channels through all patterns...

Implemented in OpenMPT 1.17.02.53

Best place to add this feature would be in the channel manager. :)

Support !
Not only useful to increase the volume, but also e.g. for panning purposes. The duplicate channel could be shifted one row down, low volume, to create a simple echo, maybe at another position.

i've thought about trying to implement this. the best place to do this would probably be the channel menu and not the channel manager (which is already quite stuffed and has right-click options already). so a good place would be right-click on channel header -> add channel -> duplicate channel or something like that...

The main difference of this is channel addition in the complete song instead of just one pattern.
I remember FT II having some shortcuts to replace one instrument by another in a channel throughout the song.
To be honest, so far I never used the channel manager, it's a somewhat fuzzy dialog to me.

that also exists in MPT, but that's a bit off-topic :D

the channel manager is very great, especially for moving channels around.
