A Wished-For Feature

Greetings,

Here's something that's driving me nuts. Two of my favorite MIDI instruments are old enough not to respond to "All Notes Off" and "All Sounds Off." These are the Casio CZ-1000 and CZ-101; I use them in most of my recordings.

As a consequence, when aborting a recording, or playback during rehearsal, it is most often the case I suffer from stuck notes on these two otherwise superior instruments. This requires me to get up from the computer, and go to the instruments themselves to unstick the notes. Given how many run-throughs my decrepit hands need to get a recording right, this get old very quickly.

I would love to see something like my old Cakewalk on DOS had: it could send a string of Note-Offs in lieu of the All Notes Off command, when hitting the space bar to abort a recording/playback. This greatly improves the workflow.

Would it be possible to incorporate this as an optional setting, or at least make it available in the panic button?

Thanks for listening.
