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

2014-05-30 by smw-mail@...

>> are we sure my suggestion about using footswitches to zero midi velocity wouldn't work to "mute" tracks?

Here's another thought--switches operated via a microcontroller that selectively filter midi data.

So let's say F# on midi channel 1 has a bass drum you want to turn on and off. You could have a button that turns on and off the filtering of all F#s on channel 1.

Out of curiosity, are there other hardware sequencers that allow you to filter midi data on the fly? If so, those would probably do what you want.

Hope this helps.
