RB3DX/RPCS3 MIDI Pro Adapter Mode and will the touch strip ever be usable?

I found this when i was trying to jump through hoops to get my keyboard working on RB3 Deluxe, and wanted to ask for a couple features if you ever work on this again.

  1. Could you make a mode for the MIDI out to map it the buttons and overdrive to the keys that the Midi pro adapter uses (C2 to A-Sharp 2) since right now to play keys on RPCS3 you need to either:
  • Take a Midi cable and loop the output to a virtual cable for RPCS3
  • Or, use this program to do the same thing without the touch strip being usable
    With either option, you are unable to control menus unless you switch octaves to have C2 to B2 on the red and yellow keys, which you then have to switch back out of to start a song. then the touch strip and overdrive activate weirdly when in midi mode (because of pro keys midi out) where tapping the touch strip without holding down the overdrive button activates overdrive, while holding it down and then tapping the strip does whammy. If you had this mode, even without touch strip, having the main keys work like they're supposed to for RB3DX would be awesome.

I also just discovered this unbelieable tool. I never though it would be possible to Play RB3 on PC, and have pro instruments working even. I have the same issue in RPCS3. I only play on normal Keys mostly and not on Pro Keys, but still it would be great, if there would be some 'crossover' mode in the app, which have the upper xinput keys working as normal, and the octave would work as pro keys. Or maybe the app could somehow remap the buttons beetween the 2 modes (one for normal keys and navigation, and one for the full pro keys octave mode). Just my 2 cents. Great app, makes RB3 playable for a long long time on X86. Can't thank you enough!

ps: is it possible to disable the xbox green led blinking? What does it supposed to do? I don't yet figured out the pattern or information it should give.
