Hi

Two basic choices:

1) Convert them both to logic levels and use a gate.
2) Use a relay. 

Both would need some sort of timer to drive them. Both would disrupt the instrument when the switch took place. I know of no "cheap / easy" ways to take care of the switching glitch. There are fancy / expensive ways.
