It might be really easy to implement accidentals at least for relative major and minor. e.g., if a user mode could be "lock" the key in Am so that only seventh (g#) would change with a key change press in the top buttons, then hitting either C or G momentarily (now a mode that includes the notes of the chord) would allow the use of G temporarily, and return to G# when the key was released) (which could be reflected by illuminating the pad with a different color...
One could even have a "Chord" mode where the layout represented only notes in the chord temporarily (keyed by the top two button rows) but the pad layout remained in Am (with the tonic emphasized), so the player could return to it immediately.
I don't know if this is already implemented in Push (my Push arrives on Monday), but if not, it would open up the world of modulation from key to key, as well as secondary dominants within a scale...
