Good ideas Ravi! rEalm All they need to do, if they can't require a hard hold countdown, is to make the countdown abort upon any incoming data, whether midi data from an external source or data cause by pressing buttons or turning knobs on the box itself. Such would be almost foolproof. The BEST solution is to allow one to choose to disable the function of the button completely in software. One can always use the back switch, or in a rack situation, one can disable it in critical situations.
