A button can only send FIXED values.
So if a button uses the same CC# (e.g. #7 = Main Volume) as its corresponding fader, then pressing that button ignores the current value of the fader, which is probably undesired. (You'd have to re-touch the fader to re-send its value.)

So it's much better to leave Main Volume to the faders, and find a DIFFERENT parameter (CC, NRPN or SysEx) that can independently mute/unmute each synth/channel.

By the way: another, cosmetic problem is how to make 3 (or more) buttons work like "radiobuttons", i.e. only the LED of the most recently pressed one being lit at any moment. I can't think of a way to do this, actually.

Mark.
