I am presently without *any* MIDI controller keyboard, other than my
Groove-retrofitted JP8, which has no local-off or velocity...
My previous 4 octave controller is in the process of being rebuilt into a
synth, so I'll be sure to add a wide range transpose control.
Until I get that working, I can't really test any keyboard remote control
development easily.
(the synth in question is here if you're interested...

This has been discussed among the alpha test users (i.e. me and Nagle)
My first idea was to allow a high-velocity note-on to add a note to the
current FTS scale, and a low-velocity to remove it.
But do you use the notes relative to C to edit the scale, or relative to the
current FTS root ?
And if you use the current root, would you lose track of what you had done
when you changed the root ?
My feeling is that fixed relative to C would be easiest, since that's how I
imagine the step keys in the normal FTS edit.
That would need two octaves - one for root selection, one for scale edit.
