I think I remeber that there were going to be AUX ins that could be
used for things like this. They were not implemented yet, but it was
going to allow envelopes and such to be very flexible.

I just realized that this wasn't quite what you where talking about,
but you should be able to write a filter plugin that gets it's cutoff
from it's AUX in. It would be kindy dirty though. Just a thought.

BTW, dto, is the sequencer going to be able to control two machines
with the same pattern (ie. an envelope generater and a sine
generater)? I think it would be handy.
