Hey, I found that when you scale the monitor size on mac magic quits when going into fullscreen mode.

I usually do it like Eric describes it.
But for the Spectrum, Waveform etc. modules you can only select sources, not globals.
So either Midi for the Gain or allowing globals as "sources" on those kind of modules would be awesome.

when learning midi on global modifiers magic sometimes crashes.
I started noticing this since 2.11b2 but it still happens on 2.11.
I'm on macOS 10.13.3.
It does record the midi but then magic closes.
Since 2.11 it does not crash all the time, so I can't give a reliable way to reproduce this bug.
