E1 mini as clock mute?

Hi all,

I have an e1 mini that is sort of languishing because I don’t have the skills to really push it to the max. But I now have a need for something specific and I think it’s the perfect application for this little fella:

I use Reaper and I have several hardware sequencers and synths connected/sync’d. After recording the sequencers’ output, I want to disable their playback and just listen to the recorded MIDI. Unfortunately Reaper doesn’t have a native “disable clock out” or anything, so I have to manually mute/disable each unit just for playback, and then re-activate for the next take.

I would like to disable Windows midi out temporarily with the E1. would that be possible? As mentioned, I can setup some basic MIDI functions in the E1 (controlling vst’s mainly), but I could put some brain cells toward solving this if anyone has some suggestions.

Thanks!
