For those who do not recall: This was about extending the peak controller. 
Usually, you use the peak controller to make one sound dependent on another. My 
idea was to make a sound dependent on a signal, which shall not be played. That 
way, you can produce LFOs only for controlling, but don't output them as audio.

The fix is already coded by me (not public yet) and includes:

 1) An additional wheel which let's you refine the amount
 2) A checkbox which does force the peak controller to *not* take the abs 
value, but the value as it is (maybe negative).
 3) A checkbox to mute the output, since such LFOs should not be put into the 
final audio.

I am still unsure if the 3rd point is needed. Actually, you could just put 
these controllers onto an FX channel and mute the whole channel. This would 
have the same effect. However, imagine that you want to use the peak controller 
in the instrument's FX chain, not in the mixers. Then you can mute the 
instrument, but this will stop the sound before it will reach the effect 
(contrary to the mixer, where the sound is muted *after* all effects are 
passed). Should I keep feature (3) or should we change the mute behaviour for 
instruments?

I hope you get the question, if not, feel free to ask.
