I would really like an *easy* and *intuitive* way to map arbitrary MIDI controllers to various functions, filters, whatever... I have this PCR-30 with 8 knobs, 8 sliders and a joystick and would really like to be able to do something with all that twiddly goodness that i can tweak while actually playing rather than stopping, editing a config file or whatever. Something like a "Map a controller..." menu option that then listens for a MIDI controller producing a lot of data and then asks you to click on the filter or whatever that you want to map it to, that'd be nice. Maybe that's out there in some linux sound app I haven't tried yet, but I haven't yet gotten to the point where I can play a jackified synth from my keyboard for any length of time without the whole thing crashing, so I guess "not throwing a segv every 5 minutes" would be a nice feature to have too ;) Rob
