possibly; but they would have change mute mode (possibly as I suggested
below :-) in order to do that, since function+track is how you normally
mute several tracks at once. but I see what you mean...maybe hold
function+track and then the volume knob acts as a volume for the tracks
you've selected.

it's not so simple. sometimes I'm playing a rythmn on a track's button
that's pretty fast (between triggers). so going into and out of mute
mode between triggers doesn't work. and if I press the track button
while in mute mode, the track just gets muted instead of triggered.

that's fine. as long as there's an option to show the knobs in that mode
:-)

maybe. but I don't care. I want to see knobs! :-)

yeah, that would be good. I'm not sure how much they'd be into (or able
to) making this more of a song-oriented seqeuncer, though.  rather than
a pattern-oriented sequencer with a tracker-like song sequencer, that is.
