That's why some of us have 88-key monsters, like this one:
Well my Roland HP 1300e is a 88-key monster too, sans the useful "function" button, which is one of the reasons I can't afford to ship it off to Roland for some mending despite the total cost of parts is merely 50c or so. (If I could figure out how to open it up I could probably replace the broken button myself.)
I will probably get myself a new (and slightly more lightweight) semi-weighted master keyboard anyway soon. I have my eyes set on a M-AUDIO Axiom.

And you still need a transpose key to access keyswitches? Wow...

No, no. Not all key switches, just a few instruments.
But that damn button also control the MIDI behavior of the keyboard (soft MIDI Thru on/off etc..)

Oohhh, okay! It's one of those "shift" buttons they like to put on gear these days. Man, that would be a pain in the butt.

Yes, you hold it down and use the lower octave on the keyboard to turn things on and off. (These day, yeah, I think my HP is from 1994 or so
). I do have an el-cheapo MIDI keyboard sitting on top of it providing modulation and pitch wheel, but since I can't turn on Soft MIDI Thru in the HP it need a separate MIDI-interface (which is a complete and annoying waste of interfaces).
It also take up some space in my current studio set up so I'm glad to replace them both it with an Axiom or similar. The JX-10 I also have isn't mine, I just store it for a friend, so that's just a temporary part of my studio.

Just noticed that version 0.3 of alsaseq, the ALSA sequencer bindings for Python, was released a couple days ago:
