Allow for GPI Triggers

Prior to software version 11, it was very useful to connect three or four GPI outs back as GPI ins. This allowed triggering of things via GPIs that could not be done with E-Mems. For example, "mix key 1", or "trigger the autotrans, leaving everything else unaffected".

Software version 11 allows Macros to be initiated by an E-Mem. This removes much of the need to loop GPIs from outputs back to inputs.

But while we're talking about GPIs ... Send a few GPI Outs to your audio area to trigger sound effects. Send some to your equipment room to trigger the "Take" button on your Character Generator or Picture Box. I've used a foot switch to trigger a GPI in, with good results.
