Just a very short feedback: On first sight I really like what you did there. When I find some time to hack on controller scripts again I will definitely have a closer look. Sharing high-level functionality between controllers sounds great. I would like to easily integrate something like "blink this button on every beat" into a controller script but I feel it is too much of a hassle right now to be worth the time. Thanks for trying to streamline this script development process and kudos for integrating so well with documentation.
