Where do you get your numbers from?

If we go for the worst case: (We need to design for worst case always
in order to make it reliable)

300bpm, 1/32 notes

1/300 minutes per beat
(1/300)*60=0.2 seconds per beat
0.2/32 = 6.25 ms between two trigs.

In 6.25 ms you could stick more or less 1 note on plus six CC's. And
they're spread out in the time slot between the two trigs. My opinion
is that it is better not to send out trigs than to limit the lock
count to six per step and give up smooth external editing.

We're using Flash, and the space is currently not really a problem.

I agree on this one. The problem is that the Dynamix is not really
the key feature, and that's why this has not been prioritised so far.

...this is not planned...
