Monitor

Adaptive monitor that previews whatever signal is patched into it — audio, control values, MIDI, or images. The input is a wildcard socket that adopts the connected signal type and renders an appropriate live display, and the node is a terminal sink with no outputs, so it can be dropped anywhere in a patch to inspect a signal without altering the routing.
