Is it possible to make it restored when will appear midi or audio signal on the track?
Could be a good idea... as an option I guess : something like "re-enable on input" option ? I'll have a look but I think it is possible. Are you interested in this option ?
Does this avoid the populating Live's undo history?
Hi Broah

As far as I know, "Device enable" parameter's changes are writen in undo history by live. So every changes with this device are stored in Live's undo history
These are both awesome!!! Thanks for making them.
Hi, I started using Mute mean disable and I like it a lot but Live crashes at exit, After much looking what caused Im sure now its MMD, Tried in 2 computers with full an empty projects. Just as a tough, Can you add an option to delay the disable after mute couple seconds so theres no hanging midi notes when switching? Thanks a lot!!
