seq24/mpc track mute alternatives?

hey all. looking for a program that I can use to do some live drum pattern sequencing with. MPCs have this feature called "track mute" where you can have a grid of sequences that you can just tap in and tap out and whether they're highlighted or not determines if they're playing. great tool. seq24 is basically direct software emulation of this, and it's fantastic. however, pretty much unusable because it's a mainly linux based program and the only windows version of it available is incredibly unstable and rendered useless. so, any other suggestions for this guys and girls? i don't really want to go down the ableton route. 1) because it doesn't really do exactly this, there are annoying methods for it, but nothing ideal 2) don't really want to splash out huge on this just to do some drum midi sequencing. cheers, lou.

i use an mpc, and i've always really disliked the automatable track mutes...never got into it. what i'd recommend though is just using a vst's volume cc or even the track's volume automation to just cut it in and out

have a good one 3Eo
