Enable/Disable Midi input by button

Hi,
I have connected my edrum set to qlc+ and control a flash function by the bass drum midichannel. But it should flash only if "bass drum control" is toggled on. How can I do this? I need a button in the virtual consol to switch on and off bass drum control.
Any hints?
Btw, there is a second Midi-Input controller attached. That should not be affected by the switch :-)

This is how I'd approach it:
  1. Setup a scene for the bass drum hit with the lighting you want
  2. Insert a "Standard" frame

  3. Add a button in the frame for the bass drum ( and really any other drum things you wanna toggle )

  4. Add a control on the frame to enable/disable the operations in the frame

Now when you're in run mode .. you can enable/disable the drum control function at will via an external input. If you wanna do it programmatically ..you'll need to create a loopback Universe and create a scene that toggles a DMX channel, you can then use the same U/Channel to Enable.
