That's a good one...
I guess the main part parameters that you'd want to change would be GBar
and PXPos ?
I could assign those to the knobs above the step keys 9 - 16,
corresponding to the part on each of those keys.
I wouldn't like them to be permanently live, as that might cause you to
accidentally change something drastic without meaning to.
Maybe holding the FUNC key while in play mode could activate them ?

Having the knobs above the track keys send midi volume could be trickier
- I'll need to work out how to queue those messages for transmission
along with the sequence data and soft-thru midi data. This'll mean a
three-way merge, and some method to prevent saturation of the midi
bandwidth.
I guess if I provide an option to configure a controller number (and
possibly an alternative midi channel) for each knob above the track
keys, these could be set up to send volume messages, or to edit synth
voice parameters. That would be handy for my MS6s...

That's an even better one. The need to wait for the step to come round
to change pattern on a playlist step, and having the 'wrong' pattern
play at least once has been getting on my nerves, so I think I'll need
to implement that one anyway, regardless of whether it get's an extra
button or not.
So much for being 'nearly finished'.
