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.
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).
