All front keys are controllable by MIDI or hardware pedal.
Program change only will work in the upgrade. The main reason is that many
Plex functions are based on holding the key, which is not possible with
program change. We are figuring out a sceme where you can access these long
press functions with additional program numbers. So to do all, you might
end up with about 15 keys...

What do you mean?

Good way to go. I do not know about Digital Music's Ground Control, but
Midigator can send control changes, so you can have all functions even with
the present version of the Plex.
Most people do not like the keys of the Oberheim pedal board. I do not use
it either.
