These are good news :)

It depends on the effect, some of them control just one parameter and some of them are super knobs.

Based on your comments here and in https://bugs.launchpad.net/mixxx/+bug/1299215, a solution that would appeal to me would be:

1-Effect chains show the superknob, the dry/wet knob and the first n parameters, where n is user-selectable in the config pane. Of course n would have a maximum to ensure we can fit all the knobs to the skins.

2-Each effect orders its parameters in importance. User-definable order is already implemented in a branch.

3-We could add a cool feature that when a controller preset is used, Mixxx automatically (or opens a dialog to ask the user) sets n to match the number of effects knobs available on the user's controller.

4-If an effect has more than n parameters Mixxx places the rest of them in an advanced pane that replaces the effect rack GUI while open.

Is this what you already had in mind?
