Silence web piano if input is coming from MIDI

[nbelakovski]

I found it really annoying that when I used my MIDI keyboard, I'd have to turn it's sound off and use the sound from the computer (or just have both on, but that felt weird).

I thought about making this into an option, but it seemed like there wasn't much of a use case for turning off the web piano when you don't have a midi keyboard, and also not much of a use case for leaving it on if you do have a midi keyboard.

What do you think?

@nbelakovski I have a KeyStation 88 MIDI controller. It provides MIDI input, but it does not have speakers or produce sound on its own.
So, there is a very real use-case for keeping the audio on the application. At least make it a user preference.

OK will do. I'll probably make a mute icon next to the keyboard, and probably get rid of the mute dialog near the top. The downside to that approach is a need to do two things to mute the thing, but the alternative is to have 3 buttons that can mute different things. I'm open to implementation suggestions.

Just curious, @errorx666, what do you normally hook that keyboard up to?

I bought it to use with Propellerhead Reason. I wanted an input with semi weighted keys and a full range of keys. It cost a tenth of what a comparable electric piano would have, and it came bundled with a very nice piano synthesizer.
