Re: MIDI "mute"?

How about setting up another pattern in the SR-16 with nothing in it? 
Switch
to that pattern when you want to mute (it'll wait till the end of the
current pattern if it's like the HR16.)  The new pattern will play in the
same tempo and still generate midi clock, even though there's nothing to
actually play.

Otherwise, does it respond to continuous controller volume? I never checked
that on my old hr16, but it would be useful. Then you would just set a 
pedal
to send CC 7, value 0 and it should shut up.
