Here some ideas for a Battery update.

mainly

round robins inside a single cell, not only across multiple cells
scalable GUI
reworking how zooming/panning is controlled in waveform views, it's slightly unsual/awkward to use - more intuitive handling would be nice

optional/ideas:

onboard sequencer with midi export (could be fun or even essential for some)
a keyboard based key mapping view (as alternative to cell grid)
a output mapping view

moer ideas/wishes

remember last selected cell after closing/reopening Battery's GUI (it currently defaults to the first cell, which often leads to adjusting the wrong (first) cell when not careful)
undo/redo function
visually grouping cells (eg a group named 'snare' contains 2 or 3 different snares and 'kick' multiple kicks)
standard/custom keymappings for common percussion instruments (also related to 'a keyboard based key mapping view' -> see OP)

Thanks @mi-os

Global MIDI channel (standard default being channel 10), rather than only a per-cell MIDI channel setting.

Easy enough to set per-cell, if you want to do that with every kit you open and/or build (though please, please also keep the per-cell override of this new global midi channel).

Global would be helpful. Shocked this wasn't there when starting to use as a standalone drum instrument.

I'm really pretty happy with Battery. But yes, there's always room for improvement, and there's some good ideas here.
