I don't know what PbindFx does behind the scenes, but... maybe try
'pattern.record'? That is, do it more directly instead of trying to
bang two different architectures together.

If you really must use MixerChannel as a recorder, then...
MixerChannel's only real requirement is that the synths go into
'synthgroup' and the output goes to the mixer's bus (myMixer.inbus).

If you can tell PbindFx to put its nodes into 'myMixer.synthgroup' and
to use a specific output bus, then that's all you have to do. You're
not required to go through 'm.play'.

I should update this in the help. You're no longer required to use
'outbus'. 'out' is fine.

MixerChannel help is badly out of date, sorry.

No idea about the error, but I would suggest: do not use m.play for
this, and instead specify the target group (m.synthgroup) and target
bus directly in PbindFx.

m.play is for convenience. Like all conveniences, there will be times
when they don't work.
