I'm with Louigi on this - I'd like to set up a sequence in whatever sequencer I'm using and draw graphs to control cut-offs modulations etc etc in some softsynth BEFORE the sound is output/recorded. But because I can't do this, I have to settle with recording the audio of the synth into ardour, and then use automation to control the params of various LV2/LADSPA plugins. It has provided some interesting (to me) results :-) http://jwm-art.net/art/audio/qtest_fallibility.mp3 but I doubt the engineers (or real musicians) amongst you will approve.
