Hi Sur,
Your idea is clear and looks nice on first sight.
However there are some elements in it that do not fit in the way samplerbox is made.
Since the method Noek explained will give lots of freedom in assigning sounds to pads I doubt if it's worth the effort of making a "breaking design" extension addressing a same sort of functionality.
Forget the theoretical limit argument of 128 notes (0 is also a playable note): you'll find out that loading lots of sounds takes a long time and may not even fit the PI's memory.
So limits are everywhere (also think of what you have to remember on stage when using so much options "hidden" under your keyboard).
In fact I'm using the method Noek explained, in combination with the voices feature: in our band we use samplerbox for simultaneous use by the keyboard player and me using an old roland drumpad I reinstalled next to my drumkit.
But anyway, discussion above gives food for thought for (more easy) ways of switching sounds assigned to single keys or pads as well as giving output note names some descriptive name ("car horn" iso C4=60).
Thank you both, Hans
