These are seven ideas I've posted at Ideascale. if you'd like to see any of these things as well, please upvote the idea over there.

1. Direct Live Set bank navigation

I'd like an alternate way to directly navigate to Live Set banks instead of only being able to scroll through them with the plus/minus buttons or wheel. For example, there could be a shortcut where some other button (like Transpose)--which currently disables the 8 Live Set selection buttons entirely--instead allows you to use those 8 Live Set buttons to directly navigate to any of the first 8 banks. (Ideally, you could even use another button to get to banks 9-16.) Then we could get from a sound in Bank 1 to a sound in Bank 8 without having to hit the plus key 7 times (or do a long wheel scroll). Besides being quicker, this also gives you the benefit of having an "absolute" button combination to get to a particular sound every time, no matter what sound you're on, as opposed to the current method where the buttons you have to hit to get to a sound are relative, i.e. vary depending on the location of your current sound. This would let you navigate to patches even if you could not easily read the display, which could be an issue for outdoor gigs, or if it's the bottom board of a stack where the board above may be impeding easy visual access to the screen, or if the player is visually impaired.

2. MIDI zone volume controls

In the 4-zone Master Keyboard function, there's no way to adjust the volumes of the zones on the fly. I'd like to see a re-purposing of a button to alter the operation of other controls (since we obviously have to work within the controls that already exist). So, for example, you could use something like the Transpose button, where while that button has been invoked, the first four endless rotaries along the bottom (Piano Volume, Piano Tone, EP Volume, EP Tone) would function instead as volume controls for the 4 zones. Or instead of those knobs, another approach could be to use the square section of 4 endless rotaries in the EP Effects section (Depth, Rate, Depth, Speed).

3. Seamless transistions between sections

I'd like to see the seamless sound switching philosophy extended to switching sections off with the silver toggle switches. For example, within a single Live Set, if you want to switch from your Piano category sound to your Sub category sound, while you can turn on the Sub section in anticipation of what you're about to play there, your Piano sound will unfortunately cut off as soon as you turn that section off, instead of letting any existing held/decaying notes continue to fade naturally.(Nicely, this does work well when changing a sound within a section, e.g. you can be playing Rhodes, hold a chord, turn the knob to Wurli, and your Rhodes sound will not cut off. Unfortunately, cutting the Rhodes off with the switch does not do the same thing.)

4. Sound requests for the next update

I think there are just a few really common gigging sounds still missing... I'd like to see trumpet, sax, violin/fiddle, and banjo. (Those last two come up a lot if you play any country.) Other than that, the purist in me says that a top tier stage piano (and somthing competing to some extent with somewhat similar boards from Nord, Korg, Crumar and Viscount) should have all 4 clav pickup positions (even better if you can support using the mod lever as a mute bar, and EQ variations). Release samples on the clav sounds would be nice, too.

5. Visible Voice selection in inactive sections

With the "Display LIghts" setting set to On, you can nicely select a sound within an inactive section... however, the Voice navigation enhancement of update 1.4 was not implemented in this mode. For the same reason that that enhancement was useful in the first place, it would be good if a "press and hold or double-click the Voice select switch" within an inactive session still brought up the Voice list, to make it easy to call up the sound you next want that section to have. (For those who have run into this problem, the mean time, there is a workaround for silently changing the sound in an inactive session while being able to see the names of the Voices... with the Section inactive, turn the volume down, then activate the sound to enable visible patch navigation, then bring the volume of the sound back up when you need it. It's a bit awakard, and inconsistent with the rest of the board's operation, and a little irritating in that it should not be necessary... but at least there's a way to do it.)

6. Have Transpose apply to MIDI Out

As the manual says about the transpose function, "NOTE: This setting does not affect the MIDI output data." But there is very little need to be able to transpose the internal sound without transposing the external sound, and since you typically don't want your internal and external sounds playing in different keys, this basically makes the Transpose function inoperable for any Live Set that has Master Keyboard zones enabled. I hope you may be able to find a way to also alter the MIDI being sent out so that it is similarly transposed to match the pitch of the internal sounds when transposed.

7. Use the + and - buttons for quicker parameter setting

Incrementing/decrementing something with the encoder to the left of the screen can be a little irritating when there are perfectly good plus and minus buttons directly below that do absolutely nothing when on screens that could really benefit from quick plus-and-minus controls, like Transpose. Touch would benefit, too, along with various menu settings. Wheels are good for navigating through large lists, but buttons are quicker and more comfortable to use compared to scrolling a wheel just a little at a time.
