Hey there! A little about my situation for context: I'm an ex-audio engineer, former employee at Synthesizers.com and Synthrotek, and (until recently) an Ableton Live user. After a years of abusing my body with horrible ergonomics, I've been hit with a bad case of RSI and it's difficult for me to use a mouse for extended periods. I didn't see a lot of options for using Ableton without a mouse/trackpad, so I thought about experimenting with DAWless production. Deluge seems like the best option for this, but I have a couple of reservations:

The screen: I'm actually a 4D7S enthusiast, but I'm worried it'll be horribly limiting - not just in the character limit, but in being able to see several parameter values at once. How much of a problem is this in practice? I'm worried I'll do more damage to my body digging through nested menus on the Deluge than just using a mouse in Ableton. Any rumors of being able to connect to some kind of UI that shows more data at once?

Bouncing tracks: it was almost a hard pass when I realized you couldn't bounce individual tracks or stems easily. Every post I see on the subject says something like "you can't currently bounce separate tracks all at once..." Is the dev team actually working on this or is it just wishful thinking at this point? I imagine I'll prefer to produce with the Deluge and mix separately.

Splitting outputs: so this is wishful thinking on my part, but is there any hope of the CVs/Gates being reassignable as mono outputs in the future? I was pretty surprised that something this expensive just had a single stereo output (well I guess there's the headphones too). Just seems like for performances it'd be preferable to have an output for kick, snare, perc, bass, lead, etc. Also would help with the previous issue, but I wasn't sure if there's a technical limitation that would prevent this.

Thanks! If anyone has other thoughts on why this might not work in terms of ergonomics, I'd love to hear about it.
