Soft touch assignment for effects on/off

Hi
Can the soft touch buttons be assigned to turn off Effects temporarily?
I thought they could. Need that feature. If not,what to do?

Yes they can be. At least I can do it in the CQ iPad app. Go to Config | Controls | Select the Desired Soft Key | Click Mute for Function | Click FX(1,2,3,4) for the channel

You can also assign a button to Mute “All FX” if you want as well
