What about reserving a little control area to the left hand side for preferences? So you could have any controllers you need there. Like keyboard range.
Better yet what about taking a sliver above the keyboard for it? That way you do not mess with the playable area.
This could allow for a modwheel as well

One more thing would be a visual representation of what channel the keyboard is currently playing.
Could be the channel gets a little keyboard icon in the LCD display. Also if there are controls added to the keyboard itself there could be a LCD display there that is one line hight with channel information.
With hundreds of instruments it would get hard to tell what one you are one
What do you think?

Last thing
This is a nice to have. MMB (Middle Mouse Button) click and drag could move the viable play range to get ypur zoomed in play range on screen

More progress on this one:
* Fantasia: Added buttons for increasing/decreasing the key number of the MIDI keyboard (Ctrl+Up Arrow/Ctrl+Down Arrow)
* Fantasia: Added buttons for scrolling left/right on the MIDI keyboard (Ctrl+Left Arrow/Ctrl+Right Arrow)
* Added key bindings for triggering MIDI notes using the computer keyboard (from a to ' for the white keys and from 0 to 7 for changing the octaves)
* Notes are now triggered when dragging the mouse over the MIDI keyboard
I also improved the look and feel of Fantasia (at least to my taste). Here is how Fantasia
looks now:

in the VSL libraries they have basic instruments, part of those instruments is the all instrument that contains all the articulations and is changable via keyswitches. With the Doublebass if you are loading a normal stacato articulation, fantasia shows keyswitches overlapping the play range. The instrument still plays fine because there is not acctually any keyswitches there.
It looks like that this is a bug in libgig. Keyswitch range is always provided by libgig even when there is no keyswitches in an instrument. You can also see this in the instrument properties in gigedit.
