Pause button in MIDIMonitor #76

It would be great if there was a way to pause event collection in MIDI monitor. Currently I need to just deselect all inputs or outputs, or change the filters, but that becomes cumbersome when I want to re-enable a bunch of them each time.

Just bumping this since I came across the same issue again today :) I noticed that clicking one of the menus pauses things momentarily which is ok for quick inspections, but then I cannot scroll the list.

Thanks, it's a good idea, I just need to figure out the exact UI. If done badly, it could cause more confusion, since it means the app wouldn't "work". Keeping it on my list.

BTW if you scroll the list of events upwards (so it's not showing the most recent event), it should keep its position even when new events arrive. That way you can keep your place. Combined with setting the number of events to remember to something really large -- so you never drop any old events -- that might be enough to keep track of older events. Not ideal though.
