Lots of things have been happening under the hood with the MuLab code recently -- making everything a MUX, in essence, it seems. So, I'm trying to figure out if there's a way I can make a meta-XY control surface. What I'd like to do is something akin to The MetaSurfance in AudioMulch and The Harvester in SugarBytes' Graindad. I'd like to put multiple Meta-Parameters on a grid and then be able to move the cursor around in X-Y fashion and when the cursor gets closer to a control it increases in value, and the value lessens as the cursor moves away. Seems like some heavy coding but maybe there's a way to accomplish that now which is right before my eyes?
The logical outcome for this would be a Meta-Parameter X-Y surface for all the tracks in an individual Rack.

Oh ... I can imagine far more fun with various different shapes. Stick a parameter on each vertex of a hexagon with another at the midpoint of each side. The midpoints reach. 0.5 is the middle and 1.0 is the far vertex or midpoint from the "root". You can extend that with a drawable area with placeable parameter roots and an adjustable midpoint, of course. (I guess you limit to the number of parameters to 32 or something reasonable.)
(Still, I'd prefer OSC support and more MIDI message remapping tools - low level ones that let you apply rules. And maybe scripting -- that's got me out of so many problems in Reaper.)
