I mean to include percussion programming in P4, so that percussion patterns
are integrated into the same parts as note patterns, or at least changes in
percussion patterns can be tightly sychronised with changes in the note
tracks.
I've been finding it increasingly annoying to maintain the drum parts for
tracks separately from the synth parts.

I did some research a while back into the audibility of MIDI delays, and
found the minimum times that can actually be perceived to be less than I
thought.
Very short delays that can't be heard in isolation as rhythmic changes can
be heard as timbral changes where sounds are layered - most notably with
percussion sounds.
So the plan is for P4 to include native CV outputs.
In order to make it as flexible as possible, this will likely be on a
daughter-board connected to the main CPU by a very high-speed synchronous
connection.
That way there would be the option to have multiple note/velocity/aux/gate
CV outs for synths, or multiple accent/trig outputs to drive drum sounds.
