Elektron Musical Instruments

I'm sorry to bother you, Daniel, but some of these wishes are valid for 
the Mono too...
Please guys check these and append your own wishes: I'm trying to 
collect all them.

may be linking could be done in muting mode with function+track ?

Doesn't the MD already do that?
Just exit from muting and play with the buttons :-)

The mute screen shows which tracks have been muted, but hides parameter 
values; so why not make it like song mode?
Put the mute screen under the parameter values?

I think that knobs are too big to show in song mode.
But a bar could fit!

even better if these locks were linked to the song and not only to the 
pattern (I think that this is even more  important for efx)
