Hey, if you can't discover new stuff, even in software you wrote
yourself, then you aren't really trying, are you?



So while we're on the subject of stuff that doesn't seem to be in the
documentation, and which up until now I'd assume wasn't available:  Is
there a way to enable/disable pattern tracks via MIDI?  (The desired
scenario is that, while a pattern is playing on the XL-7 and I'm
playing along on a keyboard controller, hitting a properly configured
button on the controller can enable or disable a specific track on the
pattern.)  

(For extra credit, if it could trigger and also set the volume,
similar to as is done in the BTS patches, that would be nifty.
