Irrespective of that, I rather like the idea of some kind of manual control to tweak the parameter(s) in realtime. Generally speaking the person twiddling the knobs should be considered more intelligent than the knobs themselves ;) Plus if the range is wide enough it might have some use in fx tweakery...
