Dave,
You can mute/unmute tracks with one hand.  Just press FUNCTION and bank
to enter the mute page (just like on the MD).  Then you can mute/unmute 
tracks
with one hand (one finger, really :-) using the trig/step buttons.  
Just leave it
in mute mode while you play the keyboard/tweak knobs and you won't have
to touch the FUNCTION key at all.

This wasn't on the MnM when it was first released to us lucky 100 beta 
testers.
But we immediately griped about it and they included it in the next OS. 
  So
therefore if you have one of the early machines there is no panel 
indication of
this mute mode.  But the recent machines have the inverted block saying 
"Mute"
where the bank button is.

BTW, I really enjoyed the live set.  I plan on listening to it today at 
work, on
headphones.  That should provide a great state to get some work done! 
:-)

Joe
