With the massive versatility of this synth, I'm sure everyone desires more keys.
What do you think about adding the very useful "Octave Split" feature found on some synths? Where at a split point, the lower half will lower the octave by 1, 2 or 3+ of the current sound. I know you can split layers and assign to zones accordingly. But I'm talking about splitting the keyboard notes themselves. If you had a beautiful pad patch, or a patch that used all 4 layers layered, and wanted to split the bottom octave of the keybed down 1 or 2 octaves... you could. This would eliminate using a layer just to play that lower part of the SAME patch.
Maybe SHIFT/Octave [+/-] would activate the split. And a certain button combo to set the split note. Setting could be saved with the performance.
Examples where this was implemented on short keybeds: Sequential TAKE 5 & Oberheim TEO-5

Re: Octave Splits?
If you mean changing the octaves inside a layer.
I built a patch where the top octave was -2, middle -1, and the lower 0.
It can be done with the Gate Modulation Processor and Note number routed to level and octave.
But it will use 3 oscillators out the layer for this.
Which has its advantages as my patch used different ROM waves from the Microwave per octave.
