Btw. while mixing consoles do have 'on/off' switches, the Yamaha MT44D
had a 'touch' mute switch. I guess DJs do use fader with elastic bands
to get this effect. Some guitarists use the so called kill switch for
doing this, http://www.google.de/images?hl=de&q=kill+switch

I guess manually doing this kind of gating pulse is more musically :)

Just 2 cents,
