If the feature exists, I would like to have the ability for 

one LiveAPI object with multiple observers attached to it

let api = new LiveAPI("live_set tracks 0")

rather than have one LiveAPI object per observer (the current implementation) :

let muteObserver = new LiveAPI("live_set tracks 0")

let soloObserver = new LiveAPI("live_set tracks 0")

let armObserver = new LiveAPI("live_set tracks 0")

As shown in the first code snippet, I have tried both a string containing space delimited properties as well as an array of properties as strings. Neither return desired output (

 etc.) - nor do they throw errors in the console. It seems this syntax might possibly work with the current callback system implemented by the LiveAPI object, which would allow for the user to specify an individualized handler for each property within the callback function.

The reasoning for wanting this is 1: more compact and easier to manage code (in some cases) and 2: more efficient operation, assuming creating multiple LiveAPI objects also creates extra overhead (although I haven't yet tested whether having up to thousands of observers, as per my use case, is currently feasible)

Another alternative would be to allow for the LiveAPI object to observe all properties (maybe by passing "allprops" as an argument or something) and executing the callback each time one of them changes. Ideally both solutions would exist.

Because I am unsure of whether these features exist, I am posting here to inquire. If it doesn't, I will forward the feature request to C74.

If the feature exists, I would like to have the ability for one LiveAPI object with multiple observers attached to it:

let api = new LiveAPI("live_set tracks 0")

api.property = "mute solo arm"

//OR

api.property = ["mute", "solo", "arm"]

rather than have one LiveAPI object per observer (the current implementation) :

let muteObserver = new LiveAPI("live_set tracks 0")
let soloObserver = new LiveAPI("live_set tracks 0")
let armObserver = new LiveAPI("live_set tracks 0")

muteObserver.property = "mute"
soloObserver.property = "solo"
armObserver.property = "arm"

As shown in the first code snippet, I have tried both a string containing space delimited properties as well as an array of properties as strings. Neither return desired output (mute 0 , arm 1, solo 0 etc.) - nor do they throw errors in the console.
