Hi Ned,

What I had in mind was dedicating, say, one specific midi note to control the
switcher. Say C2 for example. Set the input definition of the cable switcher to
respond to only a C2. Then when you are playing your keyboard controller you
just hit the C2 (you have to sacrifice being able to play one midi note for this
to work) to toggle the cable switcher in real time; while you are playing your
part in.
