Daniel, can you give your vision on this one?
It's defenitly needed to make it possible to do one hand muting and 
for others one hand selecting a track.
There are a couple of options:
- Make a switch in the global screen to reverse operation; FUNC + 
Track is select and track only is mute/unmte.
- Make a dedicated mute mode like on the MD, so normally it 
functions as it is now but when you activate mute mode the track 
buttons behave as mutes.
- Sticky function button (nice idea btw!)
When you tap it twice a bold F appears somewhere in the screen and 
the MM behaves as if FUNC is pressed all the time. When you tap F 
once (or twice wichever is more natural) the function key releases 
again and de bold F dissapears. Somethin like a CAPS LOCK on the PC.
But this one can be tricky though!

Please look into this one because to our opinion this is a crucial 
feature for live performance.
