I would like to suggest a feature for a possible future update.
The encoders should be able to send many more MIDI CC messages.
By holding Control Mode + the step buttons, the encoders could access 16 pages, just like the patterns in the Drum and Sequencer modes.
The encoders in the Sequencers and Drums should also be able to send MIDI CC messages.
When the Knobs button is pressed after Gate Mode, or by pressing Shift + Knobs, there could be a dedicated MIDI mode, indicated by the simultaneous flashing of the Pitch, Velo, and Gate LEDs.
Ideally, when a specific drum is selected, the encoders would send different MIDI messages for each one.
This way, the Beatstep Pro would have 256 MIDI encoders in Drum Mode, 16 in Sequencer 1, 16 in Sequencer 2, and 256 in Control Mode — a total of 544 encoders.
Currently, as far as I understand, we only have 16.
