Yes it is a kind of automation but I believe you are currently thinking of midi-only automation. Some existing synths are designed to be controlled via OSC rather than midi. Also, DSSI synths use OSC messaging between the user-interface and the sound-engine, so OSC gives the ability for total control. Another point is that OSC supports float data types as well as integer whereas midi is integer only. Also, OSC timing can be more fine-grained. I'm not suggesting to forget about midi automation but if time permits, to consider OSC automation as well. Of course I understand that it would take significant time to design and implement but I still think it's worth putting it on the TODO list for some future release instead of just forgetting about it. You may even find someone who has enough experience in OSC coding to help out.

Anyway, keep up the good work.
