You could actually do a lot of what he wants via SysEx, but you'd need control over the firmware on the keyboard in order to get it done. I don't know of any MIDI controllers with open firmware. I think the closest we'll get in the foreseeable future (without spending 4 grand on a full-blown Lionstracs workstation that already has a Linux PC inside it) is some kind of preset configurations for common MIDI controllers, templates or cheat sheets for those controllers, and maybe even some kind of MIDI middleware app that translates particular MIDI controller messages into instructions for controlling different Linux audio apps, maybe loading "presets" through LASH. When I have some free time I hope to set something like that up for my PCR-30, maybe not the last part but certainly the first two, and obviously I'll post whatever I do.
