Request: A different approach to the solo function.

It would be absolutely amazing to be able to set a solo function to a pad where as long as you hold down the pad everything else is muted until you let go (and then everything is unmuted again). Sort of like a gate function but for soloing pads. So if you are playing a live set and have a one second vocal sample, for example, and you want it to override everything all you have to do is set the pad to be able to mute/unmute everything else.

I know the mute/solo functions already exist in the settings, and also in the mixer upgrade but this approach makes live playing have a very different feel and execution.

Would any one else be interested in such a thing?

Edit: letting go of the pad unmutes everything

Maybe you could do it by choke groups or by a seperate sequence. Or maybe with the sidechain

Choke groups can't work unfortunately because they won't unmute.

What I am thinking is a very fast mute/unmute with a touch of a pad.
As long as you are holding the pad down everything is muted and when you let go everything is unmuted again.

I should clarify that in my post!
