Expression pedal to change midi keys/notes?
Noob here. I searched for the answer to my particular question in this forum and didn't see an answer, but maybe missing something. With MIDI Expression, is it possible to configure or map an expression pedal to change notes/keys just like a midi keyboard would? For example, pedal all the way up would be the highest key and pedal all the way pressed down would be the lowest key(or vice-versa)on a standard midi piano/keyboard or VST. My apologies if this has already been covered. I'm looking for a midi interface to accomplish something like this (changing/scrolling/scaling through notes) with a VST and/or standalone midi. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
That functionality is planned, but hasn't been implemented yet. Perhaps in the next couple of months.

Awesome, look forward to it. Would it be a firmware and/or software update to the existing interfaces or a new unit altogether?

It'll be a software / firmware update.

So I started implementing this today and I was thinking about how the pedal could be used to set the amount that notes should be transposed. There are two ways that come to mind.
1) Use a sustain type pedal to inc / dec the amount a note should be transposed. This method might be tedious for large amounts of transposing.
2) Use a sustain pedal in combination with a MIDI note from a keyboard. When the pedal is pressed, it checks for an incoming NoteOn message and sets the amount of transposing ye comparing the value to the note relative to middle C. So if you press the pedal and then press the 'D' above middle C, it would being transposing everything by two semitones.
You thoughts?
