I haven't ruled out implementing some more things with keyboard control
rather than controllers.
CCs have the advantage of being able to select from a range of values,
whereas unless you have very precise control of your keyboard playing,
velocity has to be pretty much ignored.
So keys can only be used for things like track mutes, and so on.
With 4 octaves turned over to PXPos, that doesn't leave much room on the
typical master keyboard.
At least I'm assuming most people only have maybe 6 octaves at the most...

The difficulty with allowing all sorts of assignable remote facilities is
that I'd need to put in the UI for it all, which makes the exercise a lot
less efficient. Unless the configuration is only accesible by sysex.
It'll need some more thought...
