Re: [xl7] Re: can footswitch be used to mute/unmute tracks?

thanks for the quick replies. that is quite disappointing that tracks can't be muted/unmuted using footswitch. was just about to buy one (assumed it could do this) and thankfully I asked before purchase.
in my case I'm sequencing two external drum machines, sometimes with the kick on a separate track. I was planning on having maybe two foot switches, one to mute only kick, and one to mute all drums. no brainer for live techno act.
I will look at the volume pedal. thanks for the advice. didn't realize something like that existed, but makes sense. will probably buy one.
still.... too bad about the footswitches :(
but still, about midi velocity... my external devices respond to velocity data from XL7, (unless I'm mistaken), are we sure my suggestion about using footswitches to zero midi velocity wouldn't work to "mute" tracks?
