Here's one I could throw into the pot... :)

How about a "learning" mode of the module that learns the dynamics of
your playing style and then adjusts the pad settings to match? In effect,
have the module "listen" to the dynamics of your playing for a
predetermined time and then auto-adjust gain, pedal position, cross talk,
rejection etc to match *your* style?

Maybe have the module "play" a basic "prompt" rhythm and have the user
then repeat the pattern while the module metronomes the tempo. You play,
it "listens", it adjusts. Similar to the way the "Dragon Dictate"
software works. You "train it" to more accurately recognize your distinct
playing style.

I envision a module that prompts you for a few bars of a 8 beat pattern,
then displays "Working..." on it's LCD followed by a perfectly
"zeroed-in" kit...

But then again, I'm just thinking out loud... er typing out.. well, not
really out loud but.. well u know what I mean! ;)
