    Feature Request: A method of Automating Key-Maps for different purposes.

    To Explain: Once you've laid out all of Battery's pads with samples, it would be great to have some kind of wizard that would allow you to easily automate the Key Mapping of the Battery Pad Grid to some useful common settings. (e.g. send all pads to "all white keys"; "all keys"; and most important, send to a "grid-pad device arrangement" for Maschine (or any other similar Drum Pad-Grid type devices, in configurable "Height x Width" and "ascending or descending" key configurations*).

    *For Example: If a user were to set up an "8 wide x 4 height" pad configuration in Battery,
    this could represent 2 separate contiguous "Pad Pages" on Maschine, and so on...

    Design Note:

    Also, once you have a Key-Map in place, a feature to "Lock the Key-Map" so that dragging keys, and "swapping pads" does not destroy the Key-Mappings when set for a Maschine like device.

    It only makes sense that each 4 x 4 group of pads displayed on the Battery VSTi on screen would match the layout for Maschine (or other hardware device) and a drag-and-drop would not destroy this visual relationship between what is on the screen and the physical pads on the device.
