Potential to include Hammond key and foot bounce sounds on B6 Organ VST

This is a product development suggestion: the Hammond B5 Organ VST is great (thank you!) but it would next level if it could produce the atonal percussive hits that are central to some hammond organ playing styles. These best way to explain why I am talking about, and to illustrate why its central to key hammond styles is on the two videos link below. One shows the keyboard percussive hits (sounds rather like snare drum), the foot pedal thumps (rather like a bass drum). Presumably, these sounds would not be hard to include and would give the B5 an enormous competitive edge over other VSTs. I would suggest these sounds could be allocated seperate midi channels (one for the keyboard - eg midi channel 4, one for the foot pedals eg. channel 5).You could then set up a midi channel split on the lower keyboard, and in the foot pedals that would reserve a range of midi notes for this percussive effect and preserve the other notes for trigger normal hammond notes. The percussive sound could be the same on all keys - zero tonality all percussion, or just contain a whisker of the each underlying note (with the degree that occurs being adjustable). For further info see: for keyboard thump and for foot pedal thump. Thank you.
