 Maybe we can just address this with really simple requirements
 language along these lines?:

 "It should be possible for any source of parameter-setting events
 (for continuous controls only) to properly drive any target parameter
 in the graph, irrespective of any differences between source and
 destination natural value ranges.  In other words, conversion to and
 from normalized values must be possible and should be simple to
 implement.  Design of this feature are expected to make use of the
 source and destination value range metadata."

Does this do the job?

I think it does, yes.

Great.


One thing though: why "continuous controls only"? I know that's what makes
sense. But maybe I would like to attach the output of a pitch tracker or
envelope follower (continuous control) to a parameter having a discrete set
of values? OTOH, you probably want to do some custom mapping in between
anyway, so maybe this should be done by an intermediate "remapper" plugin?
(just thinking out loud now)

I only meant that auto-scaling by the host is expected to be provided between two continuous params, because that's the simple/unambiguous case, no GUI needed. I'd agree that to go from a continuous to a stepped thing, it's an OK complication if what I just said means a remapper needs to be used. Advanced/handholding hosts can do that automatically if they want, as a value-add.
