Disklavier

I have recently been using the ABRepeat function of my piano quite a bit lately to try to learn some passages that my uncle has recorded for me.  I've found the remote to be rather cumbersome while doing this since you have to keep taking your hands off of the keys to find the little buttons on the remote.  So, I went ahead and added full support for ABRepeat and Tempo in a recent release of DKVBrowser thinking that I could imporve upon the PRC remote.  When all was done and I tried to use it I found that it was no better (and maybe worse) since now I had to go find the mouse, and THEN find the little buttons on the screen.  Sure, I could present more information on the screen at once (locations of the A & B, and have the song slider on the same screen so you don't have to use the back arrow twice on the remote, etc...) but the actual usability wasn't any better (though I do plan to add features that allow you to automatically set the A location to the
 current B location so you can start working on the next passage).

Then I realized that I was sitting in front of a big device that had lots of keys on it already...What if I could assign some of them to have different functions?  I then set off and taught DKVBrowser how to listen to MIDI events (which turned out to be trivial).  I now have a version which allows me to use the leftmost pedal to automatically jump back to the "A" position, and the middle pedal to toggle between Play and Pause.  It makes using ABRepeat an absolute joy (after setting the A and B point, and the tempo via the screen, or PRC).

So here's the question.  Does anyone see a use for this?  It would require a computer that is on the same network as the piano (DKVBrowser standard config, wired or wireless), and also connected via MIDI at the same time (a simple USB cable works perfectly, after downloading the drivers from Yamaha's site).  The problem is that I have it hacked into my version without any customization.  In order to do it right I would need to add a feature to allow users to specify the MIDI input, and then allow the user to assign any midi event (pedals, keys, etc.) to any action.  There are shortcuts I could take in the interim...like leaving the current pedals hardcoded, but allow the user (by necessity) to specify the MIDI input.  Either way, it's a real amount of work, and I'm happy to do it....as long as someone out there might actually use it!

Thoughts?

Thanks.
