I'm thinking mainly to allow the internal synth engine to be played with the full expressiveness of a MPE controller like the Linnstrument, but it'd also be cool to be able to enter in MPE data (though I'm not sure what a good interface would be).

I see lots of cool ideas here and as a developer I'd love to help out. Open source firmware is a major reason why I bought a Launchpad Pro and it always makes a purchase much easier. By letting users tinker with the firmware you'd make this awesome groovebox even more powerful.

MPrinsen: There's two "problems" with your suggestion that Rohan will get to all the good features.

1) He's human and only has so much time.
2) What if I want a "bad" feature? Music is so varied no set of features will be perfect for everyone. I might want 10 different kinds of noise oscillators and some weird generative sequencer for my music. Most people wouldn't want that so it shouldn't be an official part of the Deluge and it'd be a waste of Rohan's time to implement, but if the firmware was open-source then I could add whatever I can program.

For people who can't program the benefit is that you can access new third-party features and potentially pay to have someone add a new feature you'd like.
