:) yeah man, everyone knows that, but that's not useful at all in all fairness.

You can key map it too...

How is it not useful? What functionality do you want out of it that key mapping doesn't provide?

i want a GENERAL solo button, not a channel-specific one.

let's say i have 8-16 channels in a song and every now and then i want to solo them: it's extremely unpractical having to map each channel's solo button to a key / midi control.
no way.

if there's a way to map a key / control to perform "general solo", let me know and i'll be very happy as well as ":oops:" here

i will be getting the APC40 when i get enuff cash, so maybe that'll fix the problem.
