I don't. I think it's overcomplicated. I think the skins should show 3 or maybe 4 effect parameter knobs in the simple views of both single effects and chains. If users want to really tweak more than that, that's what the effect editor/advanced mode would be for.

>In fact my concern was that with only a single super knob, all users with a controller with Traktor-like fx layout will end up with two useless knobs. I like the idea to map them to additional superknobs, it is a good general solution.

Likewise. There would be uses for both whole effect chain superknobs (controllers that have very limited controls available for effects) and per-effect "superknobs". Whole chain superknobs would automatically link to the superknob for each effect in the chain. I think it would help to have separate terms for referring to each of these. Maybe "metaknob" for the per-effect knob?

Since it is far too late to implement that for 1.12, what should the interface be for 1.12?
