Hi all, i am new here. I registered cause i need some advice. After many years with different sequencers of all kinds and variations, i want to buy and try the QY700 from Yamaha, (i have had the Rm1x & RS7000), but the QY700 in my opinion exceeds the latter two designs, in functionality and features, except that it has not dedicated mute buttons for the midi-channels. Now my question for the DIY freaks around here: Is it possible to make a strip with 16 good durable buttons, that will survive long time use, in all conditions, that wouldbe hooked up between the QY700 midi-out and a external sound-module, and function as a mute button to mute the midi signal going out on each of the seperate channels at any time choosen by pressing the buttons of course. this lets say "mute-buttons-strip" should also be able to send the correct note-off instruction ( i guess), so that when a channel is muted it won't cause a note to keep hanging on the external sound module. Is this possible people? Any help in the right direction is very much appreciated. I don't own the QY700 yet, i need to know if this idea is able to work, and to be designed before i go try to find a QY700, cause this sequencers are rare to come by these days. thanks for your time. and excuse me if this is posted in the wrong section.
