Widget for notes?

When i was hacking on some simple octal plugins last night, i
realized that there was no sensible way to represent a note
value in a control box. The only widget type available today, 
"slider", doesn't make much sense in this case. My suggestion
is a "note" widget type, that tells the host that this parameter
shouldn't be visible in the control box, but playable from the
computer keyboard or a MIDI device ("keyjazz"). The same thing 
could be done for the volume parameter (controlled by MIDI
velocity perhaps?). There could be other cases where you'd wan't
the parameter to be visible in the tracker but not in the 
control box and vice versa. 
If you have a complex synth that takes ~20 parameters, it can
be annoying to have all parameters visible in each track. A good
solution would be if you where able to hide the parameters you 
aren't interested in.
What do you think?
