Additional virtual soft key buttons

Hey! I haven’t gotten my hands on a CQ console yet but plan to get the CQ18T in the near future, however I have messed around a bit with the CQ-MixPad app and was thinking about a feature that maybe Allen & Heath can implement.

It would be nice if they could add more soft key buttons to the app. Right now there are only 3 buttons on the app which corresponds to the physical buttons on the consoles, but what if there were 6 or maybe 12 virtual programmable buttons in the app. Would be handy if you have both the console and iPad in front of you, as the iPad would work as an ”extender” to the console.

The app can only provide what the internal firmware can, in order to give more soft keys in the app they would need to exist as “phantom keys” in firmware, as is the case with SQ5, where only 8 physical keys exist on the 6 (16 on each of 6 and 7) but the SQ app does allow all 16. I use this functionality regularly.
