I don't think I've seen it suggested but it's moving up my list of wishes. On the X32 Rack model: A mode where the encoders that are below the screen can be assigned as channel or output faders. I often have little gigs where I only need a handful of channels. Switching between channels from the front panel is far too slow. Imagine the scenario where you are coming back from a break and someone is trying to speak at a mic. Fading the break music down while making their mic live is really difficult without concurrent faders.  Additionally, pressing the encoder could perhaps engage mute or some kind of channel selection.  You tablet heroes may wonder if the ipad/android app usurps this feature.  Perhaps for some. But I often don't want to setup a wifi router (or wired laptop) for these kinds of situations.  I can see great usability for this function in installations as well, especially if this mode can be locked in.  #2 suggestionMore sophisticated built-in recorder.  A)  I would like to see elapsed time and remaining time displays.  B)  An option for mono only recording.  (smaller file size among other reasons)C)  A DVR style mode where it is recording constantly if there is a usb stick in the socket.  (primarily for avoiding an issue when you forget to start the recorder). I haven't thought this through enough yet so I'm not sure about all the features and interface questions about this mode.  But I think there should be some ways to split files or "drop markers".  #3 suggestionA way to use one X32 as a control surface for another X32.  Also, and perhaps this is just part of how this can be implemented, I want a way to tether 2 consoles together for more always available faders. If two consoles could be sort of “mirrored" you could set one of them to one bank of faders and the other console to second bank of faders and essentially make a bigger console.  Conversely, this mirrored arrangement would allow 2 people to operate the mixer at the same time.  For instance, one sound mixer handles vocal mics (like musical theater) while another handles the band or playback/sound effects.  There might even be some use cases where one mixer is located somewhere that it can be accessed by a backup person.  Imagine the FOH dude passing out and the tech director or Monitor dude can get some mics live in the house until his understudy can step in.  Of course, the I/O in the ghost mixer should be available on the AES50 or Dante network while the twiddles and blinkies work the other console.  Essentially, the ghost console is doing the same thing that an iPad would be doing when it’s connected.  </blockquote>
