save/load colors to hard disk

[TallKite]

The fact that the Linnstrument can store only 3 light patterns feels a little limiting to me. Would it be possible to add a "save as..." button to save the current light pattern to the computer's hard disk? And perhaps a "load from" button as well, to load it? Then one could have an unlimited number of patterns.

My tentative plan for how to do this is to write out the contents of colorGrid (the 2d array that holds colors for the app) as JSON to a file. This could then be re-loaded to the app to be sent to the LinnStrument. This means you would also have to use the app to interpret and load any color settings you saved to a file.

The other option would be to write MIDI to a file, which wouldn't require the app to load saved files, but would be a little harder to implement, and harder to describe to potential users.

This is also a feature I am hoping for!
