🔥There are 2 draft wishes I started to support the functionality of this Mini Keyboard.  
I don’t know how they decide which ones to promote to voting status, but if it’s by popularity then please check em out and say something 🔥

1️⃣ The first wish would allow the Levers to add realtime FX in live recording. The default configuration we’re building right now has Lever 1 set to microtuning to mimic pitch bend, which would be great to have recorded along with the note. Lever 2 is set to velocity (which works great already).

> [@MIDI input in Live Recording mode: Additional Options](https://backstage.polyend.com/t/midi-input-in-live-recording-mode-additional-options/8550):
>
> More options for Live Input from MIDI source. What is the problem? Right now there are options to record Velocity and Microtiming from MIDI into the 2 FX slots during Live Recording, but no other MIDI inputs are allowed. What do you want to achieve? The ability to use more options like the ones in the synthesizer mode. Specifically MIDI CC 3 Finetune primarily, and then the others like CC 1 Cutoff, CC 11 Resonance, CC12 Overdrive, etc. Having the ability to substitute Microtiming for example,…

2️⃣ The second wish is to support the limitations of such a small keyboard(any keyboard really). It would save the hassle of dropping down 2 octaves every time you want to use a beat sliced instrument.

> [@Option to change Beat Slice Root Note](https://backstage.polyend.com/t/option-to-change-beat-slice-root-note/8551):
>
> The option to change the starting note of the Beat Sliced sample. What is the problem? Right now The first slice of a beat slice sample is triggered using note C2 by default. What do you want to achieve? For shorter sample playback using smaller MIDI keyboards it would be nice to be able to trigger the first slice on another note like C4 or C5. Are there any workarounds? Change octaves on the MIDI keyboard. Any links to related discussions? – Any references to other products? –
