Feature request: Polytracker as MIDI Controller mode

[blueneogeo]

The Polyend tracker has so many lovely buttons and a great encoder that would work great when working with a DAW as well. I searched for this option in settings and in the issues, but I could not find it.

Could you please add a "Polytracker as MIDI controller" option in the "Config" page, that when selected:

• shows on the screen that the user is in controller mode, and that pressing "Config" will exit
• any button on the Polytracker (including all black buttons) except for "Config" pressed sends a CC code for the button over midi when pressed
• rotating the encoder sends a CC code over midi with the current value
• incoming midi control messages allow for the tuning on and off of the button LED's.
• pressing "Config" exits and returns to the config page

This will enable usage of the Polytracker not just standalone or as a sequencer, but also makes it a great option as a controller, a bit like Ableton live for example. The user can midi learn their daw to assign buttons to drum pads and features, connect the encoder to a filter cutoff, etc etc.

If this feature is available, I plan to write a plugin for Bitwig so I can use the tracker to control Bitwig.

Thank you very much for considering!

Would certainly be a nice-to-have.
