According to the manual, through a future firmware upgrade, the K-Pod will be able to function as a USB HID (Human Interface Device) such as a keyboard or mouse. Conceivably, the eight K-Pod tap and hold switches could be mapped to 16 P3 / PX3 macros. You could even implement three “banks” of 16 macros for a total of 48 K-Pod macros. Of course, this assumes: 1. you have a P3 equipped with the SVGA option or a PX3; 2. you’re not already using a keyboard in conjunction with your P3 / PX3 (this would require USB hub support); and 3. you haven’t already burned all 50 of your P3 / PX3 macros (unlikely).
In a nutshell, I’m assuming if the K-Pod is to function as a USB HID keyboard, the tap and hold switches would correspond to standard keyboard keys (including combinations of Ctrl, Alt and Shift modifiers). The keys would be assigned to macros on the P3 / PX3. This wouldn’t require any change to the P3 / PX3. The P3 / PX3 wouldn’t be able to differentiate the K-Pod from a keyboard (which it already supports). With a P3, the K-Pod knob could continue to control the K3s/K3 via the data connector. With the PX3, the K-Pod knob would present itself as a mouse. Of course, this would require the beforementioned Mouse-n-Click QSY support. Alternatively, if you wanted the K-Pod knob to control the P3, the Mouse-n-Click QSY support could be leveraged there as well.
