That's cool, SubQ. I really like the up/down/left/right diamond on the left side. That's a very intuitive arrangement.
I really wish I could get away with the I-PAC, since there's no software translation to worry about. Unfortunately I need an expression pedal or two, so I have no choice but to use the A-PAC. And translating from Gamepad to MIDI is where things get somewhat complicated. On the upside it opens up some cool options that aren't available with QWERTY output - like mapping buttons to pedal tones, chords, etc.
