  The next version will have the ability to block only specified notes instead of the whole midi signal for use with externally-sequenced one-track drum machines (like Impulse or M4L-included Analogue Drums).

  I'm not sure I understand this device at all, but I have a feeling I should. Could you please elaborate on how it works or how you use it? Specifically the part about not using an unnecessary amount of clips in a drum rack?

  If you open it up in the Max editor, you can see that the toggle button just switches the input on a gswitch so that the signal can't reach midi out, thus the instrument that comes after won't do anything. All the fading bars and stuff just look cool.
  When I say unnecessary clips in Drum Machine, I mean using a whole new clip to introduce more sounds to the same pattern in the other clip. With this device, you get the same effect as playing a different clip but with less clips and a 'live' feel to bringing in drum sounds. If this device still isn't clear, then I'm sorry, I'm terrible at explaining things.
  I've noticed that a similar device here has already been made that can block specific parts of the midi signal (note, cc, aftertouch, etc.), and not just the whole thing. In the next version, I might steal this idea, and also introduce blocking certain notes instead of all of them.
